Respuesta :

Answer:

Jacket A would be $86 and

Jacket B would be $12.. You would add them together and get the $98..

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:

Equation:

xᵃ + xᵇ= 98

xᵃ=xᵇ-12

Jacket A costs $43

Jacket B costs $55

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 equations

Knowing

xᵃ= cost of jacket A

xᵇ= cost of jacket A

xᵃ + xᵇ= 98

xᵃ=xᵇ-12

If we replace xᵃ in the first equation

xᵇ-12 + xᵇ= 98

2xᵇ-12= 98

2xᵇ=98+12=110

xᵇ=110/2=55

xᵇ=55

xᵃ=xᵇ-12

xᵃ=43
