Your answer is 107 because there are 7 days in a week and there are three weeks so that is 105 inches then add the starting growth of two inches
8/2 is 4 and -10 + -2 is -12 because your adding two negatives
Use subsiution]
y=-3x+5
subsitute -3x+5 for y in second equation
5x-4(-3x+5)=-3
distribute
5x+12x-20=-3
add like terms
17x-20=-3
add 20 to both sides
17x=17
divide both sides by 17
x=1
now subsitute 1 for x
y=-3x+5
y=-3(1)+5
y=-3+5
y=2
x=1
y=2
His total would be 58.50 then you multiply by .25 percent then you take 14.63 and subtract that from the total and you get 43.87
