There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x =
8() + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13
Given:
Normal price of a tv = $200
Coupon = 25% off

The money saved by Katherine.

Therefore, the money saved by Katherine is $50.
