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.

System of linear equations has been graphed in the diagram. Determine a reasonable solution for the system of equations.
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

D) (0, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of two linear equations is the point of intersection of their graphs.

From the graph, the point of intersection of the graphs of the two linear equations is on the y-axis. So, the x value on the y axis is always 0. Also, the point is below the x-axis. So, the y value of the point will be negative.

From the choices given, only (0,-3) matches the above conditions.

Therefore, the correct choice is D. (0, -3).

SpyIntel [72]
His speed was 1.5 mph

Explanation: It took him 20 minutes (1/3 of an hour) to hike 1/2 mile. 20 times 3 is 1 hour so 1/2 mile times 3 is 1.5 miles in one hour.
