Jasmine went shopping to a store and spent $56 on accessories and clothes. she spent $18 more on clothes than on accessories. write and sooce a system of equations to find how much she spent on each.

define x and y variables
and write two equations with the information given in y=mx+b
(order of y=mx+b can be changed)
do not go any further than that. .

Step-by-step explanation:

With the variables defined as above, the total amount spent is ...

  x + y = 56 . . . . . the amount spent on accessories and clothes

When the amount spent on accessories is subtracted from the amount spent on clothes, the result is $18, so we can write another equation that says this:

  y - x = 18

Both equations can be rearranged to put y alone on the left. In the first case, we add -x to both sides of the equation. In the second case, we add x to both sides of the equation.
