17x² - 22x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(5x² + 6x - 2) + 4x(3x - 7) ← distribute parenthesis

= 5x² + 6x - 2 + 12x² - 28x ← collect like terms

= 17x² - 22x - 2

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
