Irene's friend did not like the gift so she tried to return the earrings. She did not have the receipt, so the store would only give her store credit for 50% of the purchase price.
How much credit did Irene's friend receive?

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are not given the price of the earrings thus making it impossible to know how much they got. Divide the price they paid by 2 and you will get how much they payed. X = the earrings

X/2= amount returned

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
