In y = mx + b form, the slope will be in the m position and the y int will be in the b position
y = 6x - 5.....the slope is 6. A parallel line will have the same slope
with a y int of 7....
y = 6x + 7 <===
Answer:
5 Cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cars to be sold to make the total pay equal be x.
The first company pays a salary of $12,500 plus commission of $1500 for each car sold.
- Algebraically written as: 12500+1500x
The second company pays a salary of $17,500 plus a commission of $500 per car sold.
- Algebraically written as: 17500+500x
Equating both sides
12500+1500x=17500+500x
Collect like terms
1500x-500x=17500-12500
1000x=5000
Divide both sides by 1000
x=5
Therefore, when 5 cars are sold, the total pay would be the same.
Simplifying
7x + -10x + 18 + 2x = -5
Reorder the terms:
18 + 7x + -10x + 2x = -5
Combine like terms: 7x + -10x = -3x
18 + -3x + 2x = -5
Combine like terms: -3x + 2x = -1x
18 + -1x = -5
Solving
18 + -1x = -5
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-18' to each side of the equation.
18 + -18 + -1x = -5 + -18
Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
0 + -1x = -5 + -18
-1x = -5 + -18
Combine like terms: -5 + -18 = -23
-1x = -23
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 23
Simplifying
x = 23
What is the unit of currency here? " # " does not represent any currency, but rather is a representation of "pound" (the unit of weight, not the British pound).
If you do mean "British pound," then
70 British pounds
------------------------ = 41.2 pence (like pennies) per kg.
1.7 kg
