Answer: x > 37
Step 1: You add 6.5 to both sides so you end up with:
1/2x > 18.5
Step 2: You then Multiple both sides by the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2/1.
(2/1)1/2x > 18.5(2/1)
Step 3: Work it out and you will have x by itself.
x > 37
4.32 is the answer to ur question if u need to round then it would be 5
x represents the total sales and y represents the total amount of money that Gary earns.
Gary's monthly salary = 1500
His commission = 10% of his sales
= 
= 0.1x
So, total amount of money Gary earns is y = 0.1x + 1500.
Answer:
constant of variation = 1.2
Explanation:
y varies directly with x means that as x increases, y increases and vice versa.
This can be translated into the following equation:
y = kx
where k is the constant of pvariation.
We are given that:
y = 12 when x = 10.
Therefore, we will substitute with these values in the above equation and solve for k as follows:
y = kx
12 = k * 10
k = 12 / 10
k = 1.2
This means that the equation relating x and y is:
y = 1.2x
where 1.2 is the constant of variation.
Hope this helps :)
