Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of vehicles that the sales person sold in a month.
The sales person at the car dealership earns a monthly salary of $2400 and $250 for each vehicle sold. Let y represent the total amount he earns for selling x vehicles in a month. Therefore,
y = 250x + 2400
To determine the number of vehicles that the sales person needs to sell in a month to earn exactly $4000, we would substitute
4000 for y. It becomes
4000 = 250x + 2400
250x = 4000 - 2400 = 1600
x = 1600/250
x = 6.4
He would have to sell 7 vehicles because he cannot sell 6.4 vehicles and if he sells 6 vehicles, it would be lesser than $4000
Solve for y. the slope will be m, y intercept will be b
Answer:
x = - 71
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 12 = - 83
+12 +12 (adding 12 to both sides)
x = - 71
Answer: x" = 5.69
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphic solution is attached.
Verifying the solution:
Existence condition: x > 0
2x - 4 = √x + 5
√x =2x - 4 - 5
√x =2x - 9 (²)
x = (2x - 9)²
x = 4x² - 36x + 81
4x² - 36x - x + 81 = 0
4x² - 37x + 81 = 0
Δ = -37² - 4.4.81 = 1369 - 1296 = 73
x = 37 ±√73/8
x' = 3.55
x" = 5.69
checking:
2*3.55 - 4 = 3.1
√3.55 + 5 = 6.88 Its not the same ∴ 3.55 is not a solution
2*5.69 - 4 = 7.39
√5.69 + 5 = 7.39 ∴ it's the only solution
