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.

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 51 . find the integers
nataly862011 [7]
Consecutive integers are 1 apart
they are
x,x+1,x+2

they have a sum of 51

x+x+1+x+2=51
3x+3=51
minus 3 both sides
3x=48
divide both sides by 3
x=16

16+1=17
16+2=18

the numbers are 16,17,18
