Answer: the commission that she earns for selling each suit is $13

the commission that she earns for selling each pair of shoes is $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the commission that she earns for selling each suit.

Let y represent the commission that she earns for selling each pair of shoes.

One week, she earned $47 in commission for selling 3 suits and a pair of shoes. It means that

3x + y = 47 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The next week, she earned $107 in commission for selling 7 suits and 2 pairs of shoes. It means that

7x + 2y = 107 - - - - -- - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

6x + 2y = 94

7x + 2y = 107

-x = -13

x = 13

Substituting x = -13 ,into equation 1, it becomes

3×13 + y = 47

39 +y = 47

y = 47 - 39 =

y = 8

What is the measure of an angle if it is 660 less than 6 times its own supplement
otez555 [7]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this angle is unknown, let's just represent it with the variable "x". So the supplement angle of "x" is essentially, the value of the angle that we need to add to "x" to get 180. In other words let's just say that the supplement angle is "y". This means that: x+y=180. If we subtract x from both sides we can represent "y" or the supplement angle as: (180-x).

Since it's 660 less than 6 times it's own supplement let's first multiply the supplement by 6

6(180-x) = 1,080-6x

Now let's subtract 660 from it, since it's 660 less

(1,080 - 6x) - (660) = 420 - 6x

This value should be equal to the angle, which is represented as "x". So let's set it equal to x

420-6x=x

Add 6x to both sides

420=7x

Divide both sides by 7

60 = x

The Length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than twice its width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 80cm. What are the dime
borishaifa [10]
Perimeter is the sum of all a shapes sides.

with that in mind, we know a rectangle has four sides. with 2 pairs being the same.

The length as told is, 5 centimeters less than two times the width. Two times the width would be 2w and five less than that would be minus five. so the length is 2w - 5

now to find the perimeter we do two times the width + two times the length.

2w + 2(2w -5) = 80.
Distribute: 2w + 4w - 10 = 80
Add ten to both sides and combine the 2w & 4w:
6w = 90
Divide both sides by 6: w = 15.

with this we know the width is 15. to find length plug in 15 to the 2w - 5 equation.

2(15) - 5 = 30 - 5 = 25.

Slap on the units and width = 15 cm, length = 25 cm
