How do you estimate? I don't really understand because for one question my teacher said you wouldn't round your numbers, but for a different problem, he rounded the factors?

You can round up to tenths, hundredths, thousandths, or tens, hundreds, and thousands. Some numbers, they have remainders when divided, so you would round them up to make them whole numbers or non-repeating decimals.

Hope this helps!!

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
