Answer:
$185
Step-by-step explanation:
The first ten suits sold for 10×$250 = $2,500
commission = 5% of $2,500 = 0.05×$2,500 = $125
The next three suits sold for 3×$250 = $750
commission = 8% of $750 = 0.08×$750 = $60
Total commissions = $125+$60 = $185
There are several errors in the question. If you are using voice recognition, you are better off typing the question manually.
Because you're trying to make them congruent, equal the two expressions to each other.
So, for #10 you would equal them so it would look like this.
2x+2=5x-19
Then you would just go ahead and simplify
2x+2=5x-19
-2x -2x
---------------
2= 3x -19
+19 +19
---------------
21=3x
--- ----
3 3
x=7
This means that x should be 7. You can check this just by plugging it in
2x+2
2(7)+2 = 16
5x-19
5(7)-19= 16
Same with #11.
x+8=3x-14
-x -x
--------------
8=2x-14
+14 +14
--------------
22=2x
--- ----
2 2
x=11
Check.
x+8
11+8= 19
3x-14
3(11) - 14 = 19
You question isn't clear, but I assume that you are asking for the slop of a line parallel to y=-(5/4)(x)+7.
The line parallel would have a slop of -5/7 and the line perpendicular would have a slop of 5/7.
The difference between the two answers is the sign of the two slopes, one is positive the other is negative
