Help her friend to find how many pants and skirts neha bought.​

Answer 1

Answer:

here is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of skirts be x

Let the number of pants be y

According to question

No. of skirts are two less than twice the no. of pants.

i.e., x=2y−2→1

No. of skirts is four less than four times the no. of pants (Note: language of question is confusing, so I have assumed the question means this by the second part of their statement)

i.e., x=4y−4→2

x=2y−2

x=4y−4

Subtracting 1 from 2

⇒0=2y−2

⇒2y=2

⇒y=1

Putting y=1 in equation 1

⇒x=2y−2=2(1)−2

=0

∴ No. of skirts purchased=0

No. of pants purchased=1
