I don't know if this is right, but I'm pretty sure it's B.
12x - 4y = -8
y = 3x + 2
Rewrite the first equation
12x + 8 = 4y
3x + 2 = y
As you see, the first and second equation are actually the same, meaning there's an infinite number of solutions.
The store paid $17.00
Solution: $24.00 (selling price) - $7.00 (difference of what the store paid) = $17.00
10 - 2x
10 - 2(7)
= 10 - 14
= -4
