Mrs. Bonilla is a saleswoman at a furniture store. Her commission on rugs is 10% and her commission on furniture is 15%. Her goa

lara31 [8.8K]

<span>so here is how you can answer this:

Your commission must be equal to the sum of the 10% of the value of the rug and the 15% of the value of the furniture and equate this to the value of your commission. Translate this to a mathematical equation, you would get,

Commission = (10%) (value of rugs) + (15%) (value of furniture).
substituting the known values,

5000 =.1 * x + .15 * 12500.

Now it's a matter of finding for x. You should get,

x = $31,250.</span>

Hilda has $210 worth of $10 and $12 stock shares. The number of $10 shares is five more than twice the number of $12 shares. How

klasskru [66]

Let's first define variables.
y: number of shares of $ 10
x: number of shares of $ 12
We write the system of equations:
10x + 12y = 210
y = 2x + 5
Solving the system:
x = 75/17
y = 235/17
Answer:
she has:
75/17 shares of $ 12
235/17 shares of $ 10

-1(x+5)=3[x+(2x-1)]<br> solved and justified each step

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-1(x+5)=3[x+2x-1)]\\\\\text{for}\ -1(x+5):\ \text{distribtutive property}\\\text{for}\ [x+(2x-1)]:\ \text{associative property}\\\\(-1)(x)+(-1)(5)=3[(x+2x)-1]\\-x-5=3(3x-1)\\\\\text{for}\ 3(3x-1):\ \text{distributive property}\\\\-x-5=(3)(3x)+(3)(-1)\\-x-5=9x-3\\\\\text{for the equation}:\ \text{addition property of equality}\\\\-x-5=9x-3\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\-x-5+5=9x-3+5\\-x=9x+2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{subtraction property of equality}\\\\-x=9x+2\qquad\text{subtract}\ 9x\ \text{from both sides}$

$-x-9x=9x-9x+2\\-10x=2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{division property of equality}\\\\-10x=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by -10}\\\dfrac{-10x}{-10}=\dfrac{2}{-10}\\x=-0.2$

$\text{Distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\text{Associative property:}\ (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)$
