<u>Answer:</u>
The system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
and, 6x + 5y = 13700 ……equation (2)
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let x = amount of sales of phone;
y = amount of sales of computer
For phone, 6% of sales is 6% of x, or 6% * x = 0.06x.
Similarly for computer,
5% of y = 0.05y
Given the total sales; x + y = 2600
And commission; 0.06x + 0.05y = 137; or 6x + 5y = 13700
Therefore the system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
6 x + 5 y = 13700 ……equation (2)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you put brackets around (2+1), your method of working is:
1) 15-4*(2+1)=3
2) 15-4*3=3
3) 15-12=3
You don't need any more brackets, as the BIDMAS (brackets, Indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) rule does the rest of the job for you.
The answer is therefore: 15-4*(2+1)=3
Your answer to this would be 2x
