4s+6h = 52
2h = 1+1s
so, now we know that
6h = 3+3s, so
4s+6h = 4s + 3+3s = 7s+3, and
7s+3=52
7s=49
s=7
so, 2h=1+s = 1+7 = 8, and
h=4
The cost of 4 scarves and 6 hats is $52. The cost of two hats is $1 more than the cost of one scarf. What are the costs of one scarf and one hat?
Please show me how to set this up and work it.

Thank you! It did work very well. I will use this website more frequently.
Where did the 6h=3+3s come from? Not very good at algebra
