Answer:

Option C [tex]10+5x=24+3x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the cost of each shirt

we know that

The cost of 5 shirts plus $10 (amount of money that would remain) must be equal to the cost of 3 shirts plus $24 (amount of money that would remain). Considering that the cost of the shirts is the same

The linear equation that represent this scenario is

[tex]10+5x=24+3x[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]5x-3x=24-10[/tex]

[tex]2x=14[/tex]

[tex]x=\$7[/tex]
