3. The price of 65" TVs are decreasing at a rate of 2.5% per year. If the TVs costs $1000 today, what will it cost in five years?
(Round your answer to the nearest cents as needed)

The first is -8. The second is -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write your problem like this:                       x= the second number

5(x+1)=4x-4

Distribute.

5x+5=4x-4

Subtract 4x from both sides.

x+5=-4

Subtract 5 from both sides.

x=-9

The first number is one more than the second, and one more than -9 is -8.
