Evaluate the expression 5x-3x for x=2

x is a placeholder for a number. Think of it as a box. Inside the box, we're told that 2 is there.

So we'll replace every x with 2 and use PEMDAS

5*x - 3*x = 5*2 - 3*2 = 10 - 6 = 4

After simplifying, the answer is 4.

4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-3x

We can simplify this expression

2x

Now we can substitute x=2

2(2)

=4

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
