Mr. Rose spent $63 for a sport jacket and a pair of slacks. If the jacket cost $33 more than the slacks, how much did he pay for each?
Which system of equations represents the word problem if j is the jacket price and s is the price of the slacks?

j + s = 63 and s - j = 33
j + s = 63 and j - s = 33
js = 63 andj/s = 33

Respuesta :

the equation would be j+s=total
we know that the total is 63, and the jacket cost s+33
it is addition and subtraction, so we can cancel the last one. j is more than s, so we would go with your second option, j + s = 63 and j - s = 33. 
Can I plz have brainliest?

Answer:

The system of the equations is: j+s=63 and j-s=33

The Jackets price is j=48

The slacks prices is s=15

Step-by-step explanation:

You know for the problem that:

j+s=65

And

j= s+33; from this equation you get j-s=33

Then you replace j "j=s+33" in the first equation:

(s+33)+s=63

2s+33=63

2s=63-33

s=(63-33)/2

s=15

and you know that: j=s+33

Then, j=15+33=48

and j+s=63

48+15=63
