Set up a system of equations
Let x=first salesperson's paycheck
y=second salesperson's paycheck
x= y-.15y
x+y= 1425

Solve by substituting x
(y-.15y)+y= 1425
1.85y= 1425
y= 770.27

Substitute 770.27 for y in order to solve for x
x= (770.27)-.15(770.27)
x= 770.27-115.54
x=654.73

So the first salesperson(x) has a paycheck of $654.73 and the second salesperson(y) has a paycheck of $770.27.

Hope this helps!

What is the solution to the following system of equations? x − 4y = 6 2x + 2y = 12 (0, 10) (10, 0) (6, 0) (0, 6)
frozen [14]

Answer:

(6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system has equations:

x-4y=6

2x+2y=12

Multiply the top equation by 2 to get:

2x-8y=12

2x+2y=12

Subtract the top equation form the bottom equation to get:

2x-2x+2y--8y=12-12

\implies 10y=0

\implies y=0

Put y=0 into x-4y=6

x-4*0=6

\implies x=6

Therefore the solution is (6,0)
