The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer. find the two integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive   integers = x and x+1

Smaller integer is x

one less than three times the smaller integer = 3x - 1

x + x + 1 = 3x - 1  {now add the like terms}

2x + 1 = 3x - 1

1 = 3x - 1 -2x

1 = x - 1

1 + 1 = x

2 = x

x = 2

The two integers are 2 ,3

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

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
