    Answer:

    3 long sleeve ,5 t shirt

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4x+12y=56

    x+y=8

    multiply bottom equation by four

    4x+12y=56

    4x+4y=32

    subtract the two equations

    8y+24

    divide both sides by eight

    y=3

    plug into original equation

    x+3=8

    simplify

    x=5
