Plugging it in, we get (3)(2)+2y=-12 and 6+2y=-12. Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get -18=2y and dividing by 2 we get y=-9 to get (2, -9) since x is first in the pair

Given condition is- The bag contains individual pieces of Skittles, M&Ms, Life Savers and Sour Patch Kids.

Let the total number of candies in the bag be = x

Then, Skittles are $\frac{1x}{2}$

Candies left = $x-\frac{x}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{2}$

M&Ms are = $\frac{1x}{8}$

Now remaining candies are= $\frac{3x}{8}$

Now Life savers are = $\frac{9x}{32}$

Now adding all these 3 candies

$\frac{x}{2}+ \frac{x}{8}+\frac{9x}{32}$

= $\frac{29x}{32}$

Now the remaining candies sour patch will be =

$x-\frac{29x}{32} =\frac{3x}{32}$

Hence, sour patch kids are $\frac{3}{32}$
