Answer:

  • $6.75 and $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a) <u>Jamal spent:</u>

  • 2x

<u>Isaiah spent:</u>

  • 3 (x - 2.25)

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • 2x = 3(x - 2.25)

b) <u>Solving the equation</u>

  • 2x = 3x - 6.75
  • 3x - 2x = 6.75
  • x = 6.75

c) <u>Jamal's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 each

<u>Isaiah's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each
