Answer:

  y = 8

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation,

x + y = 17     ........(1)

9 x - y = 73...........(2)

writing in matrix form

A X = B

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1 \\ 9 &-1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}17\\73 \end{bmatrix}

using augamented matrix A|B

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1& 17\\ 9 & -1 & 73\end{bmatrix}

using row transformation

R₂ = R₂ - 9 R₁

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1& 17\\ 0 & -10 & -80\end{bmatrix}

now,

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1 \\ 0 &-10 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}17\\-80 \end{bmatrix}

now

-10 y = -80

    y = 8

and

x + y = 17

x = 17 -8

x =9

Set up an equation that can be used to solve the problem. Solve the equation and determine the desired value.
Nataly [62]

Answer:  $454.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Tito's weekly salary is always $ 500 per week.

But your weekly commission income depends on the sales you make. Your commissions are 55%.

If we call x the dollar amount of all sales made by Tito in a week, then his income z(x) is given by the following equation:

z (x) = 0.55x + 500

We wish that z (x) = 750.

Then we equate the equation to 750 and solve for the variable x.

0.55x + 500 = 750\\\\0.55x + 500-500 = 750-500\\\\0.55x = 250

\frac{0.55}{0.55}x = \frac{250}{0.55}

x = \$\ 454.55

Total sales made by Tito must be $454.55
