Max and his friend zeke are comparing their ages. they figure out that if they double max’s age from 3 years ago and add it to zeke’s current age the sum is 26. if zeke is currently 8 years old determine how old max is

12

Step-by-step explanation:

26-8=18

18 divided by 2 = 9

9 + 3 = 12

Max is 12 years old

the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x.after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2. Then add 3 to get the 3 year difference.

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
