Answer:

A pair of jeans cost 40 dollars

A sweater costs 15 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = cost a of sweater

j = cost of a pair of jeans

4s +2j = 140

2s +3j = 150

I will use elimination to solve.  Multiply the second equation by -2

-2(2s +3j )= 150*-2

-4s -6j = -300

Add this equation to the first equation

-4s -6j = -300

4s +2j = 140

--------------------

    -4j = -160

Divide by -4

-4j/-4 = -160/-4

j = 40

A pair of jeans cost 40 dollars

Now we need to find the cost of the sweater

2s +3j = 150

2s +3(40) = 150

2s+120 = 150

Subtract 120 from each side

2s +120-120=150-120

2s = 30

Divide by 2

2s/2=30/2

s = 15

A sweater costs 15 dollars

PLEASE HELP!!!! The problem is in the photo below.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the x would represent the gallons per minute. The minutes are unknown, so it's just a variable. It can't be B either, because the addition sign would mean that the pool is being filled instead of drained.
