Simplifying
120 + -28a = 78

Solving
120 + -28a = 78

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-120' to each side of the equation.
120 + -120 + -28a = 78 + -120

Combine like terms: 120 + -120 = 0
0 + -28a = 78 + -120
-28a = 78 + -120

Combine like terms: 78 + -120 = -42
-28a = -42

Divide each side by '-28'.
a = 1.5

Simplifying
a = 1.5

120 - 28a = 78
28a = 120-78
28a = 42
a =  \frac{42}{28}  \\ a =  \frac{3}{2}

A. Is the sum of two polynomials always a polynomial? Explain
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:  The answers for both (a) and (b) is YES.


Step-by-step explanation: A polynomial is an algebraic expression containing   two or more algebraic terms, i.e., the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable or variables with real coefficients.

For example, p(x) = 4x²+x+2 is a polynomial in variable 'x'.

(a) Yes, the sum of two polynomials is again a polynomial. For example,

if p(x) = ax² + bx + c  and  q(x) = dx² + ex + f, where, a, b, c, d, e and f are real numbers, then their sum will be

p(x) + q(x) = (a+d)x²+(b+e)x+(c+f), which is again a polynomial in 'x' with real coefficients.

(b) Yes, the difference of two polynomials is again a polynomial. For example,

p(x) - q(x) = (a-d)x²+(b-e)x+(c-f), which is again a polynomial in 'x' with real coefficients.

Thus, the answer is YES.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = 0.1x +1500

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

You need an equation that will give Gary a salary of $1500 even if he makes no sales (x=0). The only possible choice for the second item is then ...

... +1500

You are expected to know that Gary's commission of 10% of sales is computed by multiplying sales (x) by 10%. That is, if Gary sells $100 worth of items, his commission is ...

... 10% × $100 = $10

That is, the multiplier is 0.1.

Gary's salary (y) is then computed as

... y = 0.1x +1500

_____

<em>Comment on percentages</em>

The % symbol is a shorthand way to write /100. That is, 10% = 10/100, ten hundredths, or 0.10. (You might notice here that "percent" and "hundredths" can be used interchangeably.)
