all you have to do it subtract the number of pens from the number of pencils
Answer:
y= -2x +39
Step-by-step explanation:
y= mx+b
m is the slope which is given -2
since we don't know b we can solve the rest using the formula y-y1{ m(x-X1(
y - 15 = -2(x-12)
simplify
y-15= -2x +24
y= -2x + 39
Hey there!
Your question states:
<span>John's monthly paycheck consists of $4000 plus a 9% commission on all of his sales. During one month, John earned $11,650. What were his sales during that month?
</span>
We don't want to 9% to really trick us.
We just do 11,650 - 4,000 = 7,650.
Now, we can adjust everything.
That
9% of the commission on the sales was worth
. . . 7,650
Your correct and clarified answer would be
. . .

Hope this helps.

Simplify by dividing the two by 14
Use the percent proportion
21 x
—— = ——
100 300
to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63
