His hourly rate is $13.75.

Let x be the hourly rate.  Since he works 20 hours that week, the hourly wages are given by 20x.  We add to that his commission, which is 16% of the $1500 in sales, or 0.16(1500).  This totals to 515:

20x + 0.16(1500) = 515
20x + 240 = 515

Subtract 240 from both sides:
20x + 240 - 240 = 515 - 240
20x = 275

Divide both sides by 20:
20x/20 = 275/20
x = 13.75.

Solve x2+6x=7 by completing the square.Which is the solution set of the equation?
NARA [144]

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 6x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 7 + 9

(x + 3)² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 3 = ± \sqrt{16} = ± 4 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3 ± 4

x = - 3 - 4 = - 7

x = - 3 + 4 = 1

Solution set = { - 7, 1 }

Solve for k: -2k = k - 7 - 8 and explain in number form
Kamila [148]

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2k = k - 7 - 8

Combine like terms

-2k = k - 15

add 15 to both sides

-2k + 15 = k

Add 2k to both sides

15 = 3k

Divide both sides by 3

k=5

Hope this helps!
