First, we know that y is equal to -8x, so we can move the -8x to replace y in the first equation, then in the first equation we get -8x=6x-14, subtract 6x on both sides, -14x=-14, x=1
Amount paid for the first book is $17.
Amount paid for the second book is 0.75 x 8 = $6
Total amount paid = $17 + $6 = $23
Total full cost of the two books = $17 + $8 = $25
Amount of discount = $25 - $23 = $2
% reduction =
