16 squared is 256 because if you multiply 16 times 16 you get 256
First step you would have to do would be to times 35 by 12 to see how much you would have to pay for 12 months.
35 x 12 = 420
Then, as you said, you a down payment of 600 so then you'd add.
600 + 420 = 1,020.
So the total cost of the computer would be $1,020.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
y = 0.1x +1500
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
You need an equation that will give Gary a salary of $1500 even if he makes no sales (x=0). The only possible choice for the second item is then ...
... +1500
You are expected to know that Gary's commission of 10% of sales is computed by multiplying sales (x) by 10%. That is, if Gary sells $100 worth of items, his commission is ...
... 10% × $100 = $10
That is, the multiplier is 0.1.
Gary's salary (y) is then computed as
... y = 0.1x +1500

<em>Comment on percentages</em>
The % symbol is a shorthand way to write /100. That is, 10% = 10/100, ten hundredths, or 0.10. (You might notice here that "percent" and "hundredths" can be used interchangeably.)
If you have multiple equations with multiple variables, you can either do clever substitutions, or turn it into a matrix on which you can perform linear combinations or multiplications (Gauss elimination)
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
1 -1 1 -5
(note how the above 3 rows represent the 3 equations, just got rid of the variables, plus sign and equals sign)
subtract row1 from row3, that eliminates x and z from row 3.
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 -2 0 -6
divide row3 by -2, that will give y a factor of 1
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 1 0 3
The last row now says y=3
Answer:
the answer is A=8.96 X 10 with a power of 7
