    Answer: 2 (34) + 2c = 98

    Step-by-step explanation:

    C = cost of one canteen

    2 pair of boots at $ 34 each plus 2 canteens at (c) each totals $98.

    2 (34) + 2c = 98

    68 + 2c = 98. Subtract 68 from both sides. 68 - 68 + 2c = 98 - 68

    2c = 30. Divide both sides by 2.

    2c/2 = 30/2

    c = 15 so each canteen costs $15

    Check: 2 ($34) + 2 ($15) = $98

    $68 + $30 = $98

    $98 = $98

    2C = 98
