Answer 2

Answer:

40+4.50x+112

16 shoes daily to make his goal

Step-by-step explanation:

to find how much shoes he would have to sell take away 40 from both sides of the equation which would leave you with 4.50x=72 next divide 4.50 out of both sides of the equation x=16 so he would have to sell 16 pairs of shoes a day to meet his goal
