2(x+1)+3x=37
simplifythe left side:
2x +2 +3x = 37
Combine like terms:
5x +2 = 37
Subtract 2 from both sides:
5x = 35
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 7
The answer to that question is C
In this item, we will be able to form a system of linear equation which are shown below,
292 = 400x + y
407 = 900x + y
where x is the percent of the commission that he gets and y is the wage. The values of x and y from the equations are 0.23 and 200. This means that Justin earns a fixed wage of 200 per day and a commission which is equal to 23%.
Substituting the known values to the equation,
S = (0.23)(3200) + 200 = 936.
Therefore, Justin could have earned $936 had he sold $3,200 worth of merchandise.
