The salesman earns $850 per automobile he sells.

Since x represents the amount of automobiles the salesman sells, we can apply the commission as a coefficient to this variable. Therefore, the total commission that the salesman earns can be represented by $850x.

The bonus cheque is only received if the salesman's commission income is <em>at least </em>$6,800. 'at least' means that the salesman can still receive the cheque if his commission is exactly $6,800. The sign that we can use for this situation is the greater than or equal to sign, ≥.

The inequality that shows the commission income needed for the cheque is $850x ≥ $6,800. However, this question asks for the number of automobiles the salesman must sell to get the cheque.

Divide both sides by $850, as that represents his sales from one commission:

x ≥ 8

The inequality x ≥ 8 represents the amount of automobiles the salesman will need to sell to get the bonus cheque.

This problem can be solved with a series of additions and subtractions.

The starting value is 500 and we first subtract 120 because on Monday they withdrew 120 dollars which leaves us with 380 dollars.

Next, we add 50 because on Wednesday they deposited 50 dollars which results in 430.

And, If I am not mistaken, we are done because when Braxton bought their basketball ticket, they used their debt card and did not withdrew from their checking account.

So, the answer is 430 dollars.

What's 17= z- (-9) days
Arte-miy333 [17]
Z - (-9) is the same as z + 9. Subtracting a negative is the same as adding.

Therefore 
17 = z - (-9)
is the same as
17 = z + 9

To get 'z' all by itself, we need to subtract 9 from both sides. We subtract 9 from both sides to undo the "plus 9" occurring to the 'z' on the right side.

17 = z + 9
17-9 = z + 9=9 ... subtracting 9 from both sides
8 = z
z = 8

So the answer is z = 8

---------------------------

Check:

17 = z - (-9)
17 = 8 - (-9) ... replace z with 8
17 = 8 + 9
17 = 17
