Answer:
$408
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know:
John earns a 3% commission for every car he sells.
He sold a car today for $13,600.
Multiply 3/100 by 13,600 to get your answer.
3/100 * 13600
40800/100
$408 in commission
Answer:
d=4
Step-by-step explanation:
just trust me
(Add 7 both sides - 48 = 12d,
divide both sides by 12 - d = 4)
Treat the matrices on the right side of each equation like you would a constant.
Let 2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em> = <em>A</em> and 3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em> = <em>B</em>.
Then you can eliminate <em>Y</em> by taking the sum
4<em>A</em> + <em>B</em> = 4 (2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) + (3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em>) = 11<em>X</em>
==> <em>X</em> = (4<em>A</em> + <em>B</em>)/11
Similarly, you can eliminate <em>X</em> by using
-3<em>A</em> + 2<em>B</em> = -3 (2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) + 2 (3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em>) = -11<em>Y</em>
==> <em>Y</em> = (3<em>A</em> - 2<em>B</em>)/11
It follows that

Similarly, you would find

You can solve the second system in the same fashion. You would end up with

Answer:
{-14, 4}
Step-by-step explanation:
the absolute value function only makes sure that the result always has a positive sign.
so, (x + 5) must be either +9 or -9 to make the original equation true. the absolute value would turn both into +9.
so,
x + 5 = 9
x = 4
and
x + 5 = -9
x = -14
that gives us the correct set of solutions as indicated above.
Answer: 11
Step-by-step explanation: 5x-15= 3x+7
Combine like terms: 2x= 7+15
Add = 2x= 22
Divide: equals 11
