Answer:

In this question you got multipel answers.

If she buys as much pants as she can;

135 - (15.p) = 5.s

135 - (15.9) = 0

so now she has bought no shirts and 9 pants.

if she buys as much shirts as she can;

135 - (5.s) = 15.p

135 - (5.27) = 0

so now she has bought no pants and 27 shirts.

If she wants a shirt for each pants the equation would look something like this;

p=s=x

135 - (15.x) = 5.x

but with each pants she can buy three shirts, so 9 = 3.3

(7.15)+(6.5)= 105+30= 135

so now she has 7 pants and 6 shirts.
