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.
The 4th one goes with the 1st box
The 2nd one goes with the 2nd box
The last one goes with the 3rd box
"Parallel" means the same, which means the slope you find. The formula for slopes is y=mx+b, so we need to put this equation in the right order for that. ('m' is the slope.)
Add 4x to each side, and get -3y=16+4x. Rearrange it to get it in the right order (y=mx+b).
This is -3y=4x+16. So the number in front of 'x' is 'm', which is the slope. You never actually see 'm', it is represented by a number. So four is the slope.
