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.

10x+9=4x -9 solve <br><br> please help
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to isolate the variable x, this means only one side of the equation should have the variable x. To do this, you need to do the opposite operation from what's given (if it's addition, use subraction; if it's multiplication, use division; these work vise versa)

  • Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. This gives you 10x = 4x - 18.
  • Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation. This gives you 6x = -18.
  • Divide both sides by 6. This gives you x = -3

The final answer is x = -3
