First we must construct an equation to model the problem. (In this case we will use an inequality instead) This is what I came up with:
450.20+0.15s>=600.10
This equation shows how if her base earnings ($450.20) are added to 15% of her sales, represented by s, then the total will be greater than or equal to $600.10
Next, we simply solve for s. (steps shown below)
1) 450.20+0.15s>=600.10 (simply restating the inequality)
2) 0.15s>=149.90 (here I isolated the variable)
3)0.15s/0.15>=149.90/0.15 (Finally I solve for s by dividing both sides by 0.15, this will isolate s on the left and leave the answer on the right)
4) s>=999.33... (here I found the total sales the salesperson would need to reach his/her goal of earning a minimum of $600.10; the 3's after the decimal are repeating so in the next step I will round up to the nearest hundredth (b/c this is what money is rounded to and if I round down he/she would make less than her goal. This means i must round up.))
5) s>=999.34 (simple rounding; once again I rounded up b/c rounding down would slightly bring the total earnings to less than the goal)
<u>Therefore, the salesperson would need his/her sales to be $999.34 in order for his/her total earnings for the week to be at least $600.10</u> (greater than or equal to $600.10)
<u>Hope this helped!</u>

Maximum area is 25 m²</h2>
Explanation:
Let L be the length and W be the width.
Aidan has 20 ft of fence with which to build a rectangular dog run.
Fencing = 2L + 2W = 20 ft
L + W = 10
W = 10 - L
We need to find what is the largest area that can be enclosed.
Area = Length x Width
A = LW
A = L x (10-L) = 10 L - L²
For maximum area differential is zero
So we have
dA = 0
10 - 2 L = 0
L = 5 m
W = 10 - 5 = 5 m
Area = 5 x 5 = 25 m²
Maximum area is 25 m²
A) The given equation has no solution. The absolute value cannot be negative, but must be -9 in order for the equation to be satisfied.
b) |x -7| = 2 . . . . . . . the equation
Solution 1:
-2 = x -7
5 = x . . . . . . add 7
Solution 2
x -7 = 2
x = 9 . . . . . . add 7
The two numbers are {5, 9}

Remember them is the best way to go.
draw the exact value triangles if you're unsure, but importantly, you just need to memorise these exact values.
