45 = 4(a+3)-3
45+3 = 4(a+3)
48 = 4(a+3)
48/4 = a+3
12 = a+3
a = 9

First, you need to distribute 4 throughout the parenthesis.

You get 45 = 4a +12 - 3

Put 12 and 3 together.

45 = 4a + 9

Subtract 9 from both sides.

36 = 4a

Divide each side by 4 and you have your answer.

Does anyone know what x is - 3/4 (x+2)=6
satela [25.4K]

-10.

Solution: Multiply the negative three fourths by everything in the parenthesis.

-  \frac{3}{4} x + ( -  \frac{3}{2} ) = 6

Add the negative three halves to both sides.

-  \frac{3}{4} x  =  \frac{15}{2}

Multiply both sides by negative four thirds.

x =  - 10

Juan Ramirez sells suits in a major department store on weekends. he earns a commission of 5 percent on the first ten suits, and
snow_lady [41]
<span>The question said that Juan earns 5 percent on the first ten suits sold. Commission earned on the first ten 250.00 dollars suits = 5% of 250.00 times 10 suits = 0.05 x 250 x 10 = $125.00. The question said that he earns an additional 3 percent on additional suits exceeding 10 suits making a total of 8 percent. Since Juan sold 13 suits, he sold 3 additional suits. 8% of 250.00 times 3 suits = 0.08 x 250 x 3 = $60. Therefore, total commision = $125 + $60 = $185.00</span>
