Answer:
Q1
|a-b| = b-a when a<b
Q2
104159/33000
Step-by-step explanation:
Q1
If a<b then a-b will always be negative. To get the absolute value, we can take -(a-b) = -a+b = b-a.
Q2
Let x = 3.12789789789...
We isolate the repeating decimal to start after the decimal, so we multiply by 100.
100x = 312.789789789...
We want to multiply by 10 for each digit that repeats (in this case 3), to get the repeating part to the left of the decimal.
100000x = 312789.789789
Subtracting the two...
x(100000-100) = 312789.789789 - 312.789789
99900x = 312477
x = 312477/99000 = 104159/33000

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
Tito needs a total of $6500 in sales if he want to receive $710 a week.
The equation is:

<h2>
Why?</h2>
From the statement we know that his salary is $450 plus a 4% commission on the total amount of all sales he makes.
So, we can write the following equation to determine the total sales in a week if he wants to make a total of $710.
Remember, if we are working with percents, we need to change it to real numbers in order to perform the calculations, we can do it by dividing the percent value into 100.
We have:

Now, if he wants to make a total of $710, we have:



We have that Tito needs a total of $6500 in sales if he want to receive $710 a week.
Have a nice day!
-5(-1-2)
5+10
15
Or
-5(-1-2)
-5(-3)
15
It's 15 either way.
The answer is 11.
-3+y=8
y= 8+3
y=11
******************************************************
Okay.
-3x+y=8
y=8+3x or y=3x+8
Or x = (y-8)/3
