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

J + s = 63 and j - s = 33 because if the jacket cost 33 more than the slacks then you start with the jacket and subtract the slacks which are 33 less than the jacket you have 33.
