Find two numbers if there sum is 7.2 and their difference is 2.7

2.25 and 4.95

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 7.2

x - y = 2.7

x = 7.2 - y

x - y = 2.7

(7.2 - y) - y = 2.7

7.2 - 2y = 2.7

-2y = 2.7 - 7.2

-2y = -4.5

-2y/-2 = -4.5/-2

y = 2.25

x + y = 7.2

x + 2.25 = 7.2

x = 7.2 - 2.25

x = 4.95

Check: 4.95 and 2.25

x + y = 7.2

(4.95) + (2.25) = 7.2

7.2 = 7.2

x - y = 2.7

(4.95) - (2.25) = 2.7

2.7 = 2.7

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
