You spend $264 on clothes. Shirts cost $24 and pants cost $32. You buy a total of 9 items. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situationPlease show work if you can.

EQUATIONS:
24x + 32y = 264
x + y = 9

x is shirts, y is pants

SOLVING by substitution:
x = 9 - y

24(9 - y) + 32y = 264

216 - 24y + 32y = 264

8y = 48

y = 6

x + 6 = 9

x = 3
