Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To solve for x, you will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18 = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155
5x/5 = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

So you’d distribute first, then combine like terms. After you’ve done that you’d do the inverse to isolate x

you are considering 2 jobs. one job pays $250 per week, plus 4.5% commission on all sales. The second job pays $1,800 per month
Hoochie [10]
The correct answer is A. Not only does $250 a week equal $1000 a month but the commission is also higher.

first job: $250wk = $1000 Month + .045 commission 
= $12000 year + .045 commission 
second job = $1800 Month + .03 commission 
= $21600 year + .03 commission 
commission based on sales of $1,000,000 

1,000,000 times .045 = $45000 
1,000,000 times .030 = $30000 

FIRST JOB: $12,000 + $45,000 = $57,000 
SECOND JOB: $21,600 + $30,000 = $51,600 

The answer is definitely A.
