The x becomes negative because the negative sign at the start of the parenthesis distributes to everything inside parenthesis so x becomes -x and the double negative becomes +6 so that is why
<u>Answer:</u>
The system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
and, 6x + 5y = 13700 ……equation (2)
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let x = amount of sales of phone;
y = amount of sales of computer
For phone, 6% of sales is 6% of x, or 6% * x = 0.06x.
Similarly for computer,
5% of y = 0.05y
Given the total sales; x + y = 2600
And commission; 0.06x + 0.05y = 137; or 6x + 5y = 13700
Therefore the system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
6 x + 5 y = 13700 ……equation (2)
Answer:
28%
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Divide the numerator by the denominator in order to convert this fraction into a decimal.</u>
7/25 = 0.28
<u>Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert into a whole number.</u>
.28 * 100 = 28
<u>7/25 converted into a percent is 28%.</u>
Answer: -3
Step-by-step explanation:
It has to obey all the polynomial rules, like 3x^4 or 6x, it has to have the base then the power.
