The commission is 20% of sales, the basic salary is $200 and the equation is y = 0.2x + 200
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.
Let y represent the total sales for x weekly sales, m represent the commision and b represent the basic salary. Hence:
400 = 1000m + b (1)
Also:
300 = 500m + b (2)
Hence:
m = 0.2 = 20%, b = $200
The commission is 20% of sales, the basic salary is $200 and the equation is y = 0.2x + 200

Did you mean this? <span>3^2x+1=3^x+5 => 3^(2x+1) = 3^(x+5)? If so, then 2x+1 is necessarily equal to x+5, so that 2x+1=x+5. Thus, x = 4 (answer).
Those parentheses are not optional; they must be part of your problem statement and solution.</span>
