Nellie and her younger sister debbie share expenses on a holiday. nellie spends $122 more than debbie. their total expenses amount to $840.

a) write a pair of linear equations to represent the information given above.

b)explain how you can change this pair of equations to a linear equation in one unknown.

c)apply your method to find how much debbie spends on the holiday. show your work.

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N = how much Nellie spends

Let D = how much Debbie spends

Part A

Nellie spends $122 more than Debbie.

N= D +122

Their total expenses amount to $840.

N+D =840

The two equations are

N= D +122

N+D =840

Part B

We can substitute the first equation which is solved for N into the second equation.  Every place we see an N in the second equation, we replace it with D+122

Part C

N= D +122

N+D =840

(D+122) +D = 840

Combine like terms

2D +122 = 840

Subtract 122 from each side

2D+122-122=840-122

2D =718

Divide by 2

2D/2= 718/2

D =359

Debbie spends 359

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide

i dont know if you cant find a way its best to actually add all of them start from 105 tho
