Answer:

[tex]5\ shirts[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of shirts ordered

y-----> the total cost of the order

we know that

The linear equations that represent each situation are

Shirts-2-Go

[tex]y=12x+3[/tex] ------> equation A

Shirts PLUS

[tex]y=8x+23[/tex] ------> equation B

To know how many shirts to purchase so that the total cost is the same in both companies, equate equation A and equation B

[tex]12x+3=8x+23[/tex]

[tex]12x-8x=23-3[/tex]

[tex]4x=20[/tex]

[tex]x=5\ shirts[/tex]
