First step is replacing x with -4. => -3=5y+8 => 5y= -8-3 => y =-11/5
dropped $3 means "-3", increased $6 means "+6"
the price dropped twice so 2(-3) and increased once by 6
so, 2(-3) + 6 = 0
the change in price is $0
The answer is the second option, which is 28x + 8y + 2.
3√x+2 = √x+4
divide both sides by 3
√x+2 = √x+4 / 3
remove radical by squaring both sides
x+2 = x+4/9
x+2 = x/9 + 4/9 =
8x/9 = -14/9
8x*9 = -14*9=
72x = -126
x = -7/4
