Three consecutive even integers whose sum is -48
1st = 100% - 20% = 80%
2nd= 100%-15% = 85%
Net Price Factor = 0.8 x 0.85 = 0.68
Net Price = $1899 x 0.68
Final Net Price = $1,291.32
Total Discount= $1899 - 1,291.32 = $607.68
Since x=-3y+5, substitute x for -3y+5.
2(-3y+5)+8y=4
Distribute.
-6y+10+8y= 4
2y+10= 4
Subtract 10 on both sides.
2y=-6
Divide by 2.
y=-3
Plug in y=-3.
x=-3(-3)+5
x= 9+5
x=14
(14,-3)
We can check this.
2(14)+8(-3)=4
28-24=4
4=4 <== this works
I hope this helps!
