Type your equation:
Question 2

PART B

How much does each pair of socks cost?
The cost of a pair of socks is $

Answer 1

Let's assume that the cost of each pair of socks is x dollars.
PART A:

The equation that can be used to find the cost of each pair of socks is:
3x + 26 = 47

PART B:

To find the cost of each pair of socks, we need to solve the equation:
3x + 26 = 47

Subtract 26 from both sides:
3x = 21

Divide both sides by 3:
x = 7

Therefore, each pair of socks costs $7.
