You need to add a -1

We can find this by setting up the equation like so

x + (-6) + 12 + 15 / 4 = 5

x + 21 = 20

x = 20 -21

x = -1

Now if we insert -1 where x is located in the equation, you will get a means of 5

Answer:

Sh. 10,920

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sales is above sh. 100,000,his commission is (2.4+1.5) 3.9%.

3.9% of 280,000= 10920.

Therefore, his commission is sh. 10,920

Which equation shows the correct use of the Distributive Property? <br> −4(32x−12)=−15

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

-128x + 48 = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't any choices to pick from but using the distributive property you will multiply the -4 by everything in the parenthesis.

-4(32x - 12) = -15

=-128x + 48 = -15.

Write an equation, in point-slope form, for the line that goes through points (4,4) and (-4,-1).

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

C.) Y= 5/8x + 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, calculate the slope between points (4,4) and (-4,-1). After, substitute the slope and a point into the point slope form.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{4--1}{4--4}= \frac{5}{8}$

Substitute m = 5/8 and the point (4,4) into the point slope form.

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y -4 = \frac{5}{8}(x-4)\\y-4 = \frac{5}{8}x - \frac{20}{8} \\\y = \frac{5}{8}x - 2{1}{2} + 4 \\ y = \frac{5}{8}x + 1\frac{1}{2}$
