Answer:
no...
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12 sales
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of sales each man had.
For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.
For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x. We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.
Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:
65x = 40x+300
Subtract 40x from each side:
65x-40x = 40x+300-40x
25x = 300
Divide both sides by 25:
25x/25 = 300/25
x = 12
Hey there!
We can solve systems two ways - substitution and elimination. It seems in this case that elimination is going to be easier.
Let's begin by multiplying the top equation by 3, and the bottom equation by 4:
3(5x - 4y = -24)
15x - 12y = -72
4(4x + 3y = 18)
16x + 12y = 72
Next, we'll add the two equations together to get rid of, or eliminate, the y variable and solve for the x variable:
(15x - 12y = -72) + (16x + 12y = 72)
31x = 0
x = 0
Next, we'll plug the value of the x variable into the top equation and solve for the y variable:
5(0) - 4y = -24
-4y = -24
y = 6
Therefore, x = 0 and y = 6.
Hope this helps!! :)
