    Total is 68 and the perm is 2 times as much as her haircut and her lunch is $5

    so ...

    2h+h+5 = 68 (add like terms)

    3h+5 = 68 (subtract 5 from both sides)

    -5 - 5

    3h = 63 (divide by 3)

    h = 21

    so if her haircut is 21 dollars

    21*2 = $42

    her perm cost 42 dollars
