Answer: $36.69


Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so let's first write the equation:

2.59*10 + 3d = 135.97

Now, let's work on isolating d by first simplifying the equation:

25.9 + 3d = 135.97

25.9 + 3d - 25.9 = 135.97 - 25.9

3d = 110.07

3d/3 = 110.07/3

d = 36.69

Okay, now let's check:

2.59*10 + 3*36.69  = 135.97

25.9 + 110.07 = 135.97

135.97 = 135.97

Okay, so so it costs $36.69 per pair of shoe.
