B = ym + y
B - y = ym
(B - y) / y = m
or
B/y - 1 = m
Answer:
$877.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply the value by the percentage.
19,500 x 4.5% = $877.50
This is the amount of the commission.
Answer:
m = -8
b = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem use the hint and put this equation in y = mx + b form. This is called slope-intercept form.
In slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x (which is m) is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line.
Add 32x to both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by -4.
Comparing this to y = mx + b, the -8 is "m" and -24 is "b". Therefore your final answers are:
m = -8
b = -24
You have to combine like terms, so 3b plus 2b equals 5b and you can't add b to 5a because they aren't defined, therefore th answer is 5a+b.
