<u>Use the distributive property to solve. Multiply the two by every term in the parentheses and then combine alike terms.</u>
Multiply 9 books by 55% by doing
9 x .55 = 4.95
We can't have 4.95 books, though so it rounds down to 4 because you can't just add another .05.
The answer A.the solution is (5,-2) definitely works because 5+-2=3 and 5--2=7 not sure if there's infinite number of solutions tho
