Answer:

5 Cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cars to be sold to make the total pay equal be x.

The first company pays a salary of $12,500 plus commission of $1500 for each car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 12500+1500x

The second company pays a salary of $17,500 plus a commission of $500 per car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 17500+500x

Equating both sides

12500+1500x=17500+500x

Collect like terms

1500x-500x=17500-12500

1000x=5000

Divide both sides by 1000

x=5

Therefore, when 5 cars are sold, the total pay would be the same.

Answer:

The picture shows the answer on the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

-2=-3/4×(x-6)

Distribute -3/4 through the parenthesis

-2= -3/4x+9/2

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

-8=-3x+18

Move the variable to the left side and change its sign

3x-8=18

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

3x=18+8

Add the numbers

3x=26

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

x=26/3

Alternative Form- x=8 2/3 or x=8.6
