Asa Woodward · Answer 1

2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92

2.99x means every pair of sock costs 2.99, and 12.99y means every blouse costs 12.99, and they must equal 43.92 in total.

I'm sorry for taking so long, I thought the question actually wanted you to solve for the number of socks/blouses purchased until I re-read the question.
