Please help me for 10 pts

a) 10.5

b) 25.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 2.3 for n in both equations.

First equation:

5 (2.3 - 2) + 9

5 (0.3) + 9

1.5 + 9

10.5

Second equation:

8 (2.3^2) - 17

8 (5.29) - 17

42.32 - 17

25.32

I hope this helps!

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
