- Reid and Sharon work in two different clothing stores. Reid's store sells shirts for \([tex]$14 each and
pants for $\)[/tex]39 each. Sharon's store sells shirts for \([tex]$12 each and pants for $\)[/tex]44 each.
One day, Reid sold \([tex]$145 worth of shirts and pants, and Sharon sold the same number
of shirts and pants, but her sales were worth $\)[/tex]156. When x is the number of shirts
sold and y is the number of pants sold, the situation can be modeled by a system of
linear equations.
A.
