0.10(5000) = 500
0.15(10,000) = 1500
total commission on 15,000 = (150 + 500) = 2,000
1.7-3-2.4y= 12y-11.64
-1.3-2.4y = 12y - 11.64
-2.4y = 12y - 11.64
-14.4y = -10.34
y= 10.34/14.4= 5.17/7.20 or 517/720
Answer:
14y-13y² is the answer. sorry for dirty handwriting
X is the smaller number. 3x + 15 is the larger number. So x + 3x + 15 = 63. 4x + 15 = 63.
4x = 48. x = 12. (Smaller number) The larger 36 + 15 or 51.
Answer:
Let the original number be x
Successor is defined as the number which comes immediately after a particular number.
also, the successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to that number.
Then, the successor of a number x is, x+1
As per the given condition :
we have;

Using distributive property on LHS (i.e,
)
Then, we have
5x+5+x=83
Combine like terms;
6x+5=83
Subtract 5 from both the sides we get;
6x+5-5=83-5
Simplify:
6x=78
Divide both side by 6,

Simplify:
x =13
Therefore, the original number x is, 13
