Step 1: Reorder the terms2 + 4x = 5[x + 10]
Solving for variable 'x'.

Step 2: Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Step 3: Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.2 + 4x + -5x = 50 + 5x + -5x

Step 4: Combine like terms: 4x + -5x = -1x2 + -1x = 50 + 5x + -5x

Step 5: Combine like terms again: 5x + -5x = 02 + -1x = 50 + 02 + -1x = 50

Step 6: Add '-2' to each side of the equation.2 + -2 + -1x = 50 + -2

Step 7: Combine like terms once again: 2 + -2 = 00 + -1x = 50 + -2-1x = 50 + -2

Step 8: Combine like terms for the last time :p : 50 + -2 = 48-1x = 48

Step 9: Divide each side by '-1'.x = -48

Answer: x = -48

an art dealer makes a 17.5% commission on every painting sold. If a painting sold for $1500, what was the commission

Aleksandr [31]

A percentage is a number out of 100. So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.

To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175

1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.

The commission is $262.50.
