Let f(x) = 2x+4. If f(x) = 16, find x.

jeyben [28]

$f(x)=2x+4$

And we are given that $f(x)=16$ and want to find the value of x. Set f(x) to 16 and we get the equation:

$2x+4=16$

Subtract both sides by 4

$2x=12$

Divide both sides by 2

$x=6$

This is the answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Rosie is a real estate agent and is paid the following for commission on sales: 4% for the first $50,000, 2% for the next $100,0

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

22,000

Step-by-step explanation:

4%/100=0.04

0.04*50,000=20,000 || 130,000-50,000=80,000 ||

2%/100=0.02

0.02*100,000= 2,000 || 80,000 - 100,000 ||

To explain it simply, Rosie receives 20,000 in commission for the first 50,000 of the sale. However, she sold a property for 130,000 meaning she also receives 2,000 for the next 100,000. Therefore she receives $22,000 in total on her $130,000 sale.
