Answer:
x = -9, y = 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
-x + y = 15
-5x - 3y = 27
From the first equation:
y = x + 15.
Substituting for y in second equation:
-5x - 3(x + 15) = 27
-8x - 45 = 27
-8x = 72
x = -9.
Now plug x = -9 into equation 1
-(-9) + y = 15
y = 15 -9 = 6.

Correction: g(3)=(3²)|3|=9(3)=27
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.
