(x + 2) + 15 = 2x

x+ 17 = 2x

x (-x) + 17 = 2x (-x)

17 = x

x = 17

2+x=2x-15
>> 2+15=2x-x
>> 17 = x

So the answer is <u>17</u>

Kyle is a salesman. His monthly earnings include a fixed monthly salary and a commission that is a fixed percentage of his total

____ [38]

Answer:

Kyle’s fixed monthly salary in dollars is $1800

Step-by-step explanation:

let a be the fixed monthly salary

let b% represent the fixed percentage of sales

a+(b%*15000)=2550

a+(b%*25000)=3050

a+(b/100*15000)=2550

a+150b=2550

a+(b/100*25000)=3050

a+250b=3050

now we have

a+150b=2550

a+250b=3050

let subtract a+150b=2550 from a+250b=3050

100b=500

b=500/100=5%

then a+(5%*15000)=2550

a+750=2550

a=2550-750=$1800

50 points decreased by 26% is 37 points.

$50\times\frac{26}{100}\\\\= 50 \times 0.26\\\\=13\\\\ 50-13={\boxed{ \bf 37}}$
