James spent $95 for a pair of jeans and a jacket. If he spent x dollars for the pair of jeans, what expression represents the amount he spent for the jacket?

1 answer

If James spent a total of $95 for a pair of jeans and a jacket, and he spent \( x \) dollars on the pair of jeans, then the amount he spent on the jacket can be represented by the expression:

\[ 95 - x \]

This means that if you subtract the amount spent on the jeans from the total amount spent, you get the amount spent on the jacket.
