9514 1404 393

  3x +y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is ...

  ax +by = c

where a>0 and a, b, c are mutually prime integers.

To get there, we can eliminate parentheses, then separate variable terms from constant terms.

  y -2 = -3(x +6) . . . . . given (perhaps)

  y -2 = -3x -18 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3x +y -2 = -18 . . . . . add 3x

  3x +y = -16 . . . . . . . add 2

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.

answer: its the third option.
