Manuel and Felicia are comparing how much money they have
• Manuel has $250.
• He saves $150 per week,
• Felicia has $1,650.
• She spends $200 per week.
• Let x = the number of weeks
• Let y = the amount of money at the end
of the week.
Which system of equations represents this
situation?

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for Manuel:

Equation for Felicia:

Solving we get:

and

After 4 weeks Manuel and Felicia will have equal amount of money- $850

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

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
