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.
Answer:
x=1, y=2. (1, 2).
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+10y=17
3x+7y=17
---------------
17y=34
y=34/17
y=2
3x+7(2)=17
3x+14=17
3x=17-14
3x=3
x=3/3
x=1
2/6 is a fraction. the denominator has to be an even number.
1/4 divided by 5 is 0.05 or 1/20
