Y=2x+3
put x =0 onetime then y=3
now put y =0 2x+3
x= -3/2
So, 10%-7%=3%=$294
$294/3%=$9800
Answer: The cost price of the necklace is $9800.
The answers are blurry and hard to read. If you repost this question with a clearer picture, I would be happy to try and answer as best I can! :)
The solution depends on the value of

. To make things simple, assume

. The homogeneous part of the equation is

and has characteristic equation

which admits the characteristic solution

.
For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be

. Then

So you have


This means


and so the general solution would be
