Answer:
5 Cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cars to be sold to make the total pay equal be x.
The first company pays a salary of $12,500 plus commission of $1500 for each car sold.
- Algebraically written as: 12500+1500x
The second company pays a salary of $17,500 plus a commission of $500 per car sold.
- Algebraically written as: 17500+500x
Equating both sides
12500+1500x=17500+500x
Collect like terms
1500x-500x=17500-12500
1000x=5000
Divide both sides by 1000
x=5
Therefore, when 5 cars are sold, the total pay would be the same.
Answer:
x = -1, y = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 6y = 6 -----> x + 2y = 2
-3x + 2y = 6 -----> -3x + 2y = 6
------------------
4x = -4
x = -1, y = 1.5
