Let x be the price of the blouse.
42=2x-14
56=2x
28=x
The blouse was $28
answer is (-7,2)
y = -x -5
y= x+9
Both equations have y on the left hand side
So we equate both equations
We replace -x-5 for y in the second equation
-x -5 = x+9
Subtract x on both sides
-2x -5 = 9
Now add 5 on both sides
-2x = 14
Divide by -2 from both sides
x = -7
Now plug in -7 for x in the first equation
y = -x -5
y = -(-7) -5= 7-5 = 2
So answer is (-7,2)
I think that the answer is a increase
