Answer:

Let p be the number of phones sold and a be the number of accessory sold.

9p + 4a = 253

a - p = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

He gets $9 for every phone and $4 for every accessory, so you can write this as

9p + 4a

Then he made a total of $253 do the new equation is

9p + 4a = 253

We are also given that he sold 8 more accessories than phones. So we can write this as

a = p + 8

rearrange that so that all the variables are to one side.

a - p = 8

Now you have the two equations needed to solve the for the variable. The question didn't ask me to solve for the variable so I'll leave it here.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of phones sold.

Let y represent the number of accessories sold.

Jose earns a $9 commission for every phone he sells. This means that the total commission earned for selling x phones would be

$9x

He also earns a $4 commission for every accessory he sells. This means that the total commission earned for selling y accessories would be

$4y

On a given day, Jose made a total of $253 in commission and sold 8 more accessories than phones. The equation would be

9x + 4y = 253 - - - - - - - - -1

Since he sold 8 more accessories than phones, it means that

x = y - 8 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Therefore, equations 1 and 2 can be used to determine the number of phones sold and the number of accessories sold.

-4y+20=-x solve for y
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

y = x/4 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y:

20 - 4 y = -x

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left-hand side.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

-4 y = -x - 20

Hint: | Solve for y.

Divide both sides by -4:

Answer: y = x/4 + 5

In linear equation, 15.2% did the total number of students on the honor roll decrease.

What in mathematics is a linear equation?

  • A linear equation is a first-order (linear) term plus a constant in the algebraic form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
  • Sometimes, the aforementioned is referred to as a "linear equation of two variables," where x and y are the variables.

50 × 24% = 12

50 × 14%= 7

12+ 7 = 19

50+75 = 125

19 ÷125= 15.2%
