Answer:

pair of pants = $53

Step-by-step explanation:

s = shirts

p = pair of pants

eq = equation

eq 1:          7s + 5p = 517

eq 2:           s + p = 89

multiply the equation 2 by 7

eq 3:        7s + 7p = 623

negate equation 1 and add it to the eq 3

      7s + 7p = 623

+    -7s - 5p = -517

             2p = 106

               p = 53
