Let shirts be x and ties be y
3x+5y=$60    Equation 1 (Equation 1 will be denoted by *)
2x+3y=$39    Equation 2 (Equation 2 will be denoted by !)
x2  6x + 10y = $120
!x3  6x + 9y = $117
-!  y = 120-117 =3

Ties are $3 each
Substitute this value back into one of the original 2 equations:
3x+5y=$60
3x+(5x3) = 60
3x+15=60
3x=45
x=15

Shirts are $15

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Let shirts be x and ties be y.

3x+5y=$60    Equation 1

2x+3y=$39    Equation 2

Solve the two equations by the elimination method.

6x + 10y = $120

6x + 9y = $117

y = 120-117 =3

The cost of ties are $3 each.

Substitute this value back into equation 2.

3x+5y=$60

3x+(5x3) = 60

3x+15=60

3x=45

x=15

Therefore, the cost of each shirt is $12 in the clothing store.
