Since both the expressions in x are equal to y then they are equal to each other, so
-2x + 3 = 13x - 4
-15x + 3 = -4
-15x = -7
x = 7/15
and y = -2(7/15) + 3 = 31/15 = 2 1/15
Answer: True
Step-by-step explanation: There are 15 pounds and 3 dollars. 15 over 3 is $1 for 5 pounds.
<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.)
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , thus
a + b + c = 180
(2)
adjacent angles are supplementary, thus
b + d = 180
(3)
From (1) and (2)
b + d = a + b + c ( subtract b from both sides )
d = a + c
