the product of two positive consecutive integers is five more than three times the larger integer. find the larger integer. ​

When calculating consecutive integers, the smaller number is x and the larger number is (x + 1). This is because the sum of the consecutive integers are equal to 5 more than 3 times the larger integer. So the smaller number is -7 and the larger number is -6.

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

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