Ibelieve you have to use substitution or elimination to solve the problem.

in 2012 and in 2013, us airlines collected a total of $6.84 million in baggage fees, with the baggage fees in 2012 exceeding those in 2013 by $0.14 million. find the amount collected in the baggage fees in 2012 and in 2013.

Amount collected in 2012 = 3.49

and in 2013 = 3.35

Explanation:

Let x be the baggage fees collected in 2013 and

y be the baggage fees collected by airlines in 2012

From the given question we can obtain two equations as follows:

x + y = 6.84 $   - eq 1

and

y = 0.14 + x

as fees in 2012 exceeds that in 2013 by 0.14$

Now, solving these two equations by substitution,

we substitute  y = 0.14 + x in eq 1

and solve for x,

which gives us x = 3.35 and

substituting this value in eq 1

we get y = 3.49
