X + 2x + x + 10 = 90
4x = 80
x = 20
Answer:
$20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
You can quickly figure this by recognizing that the difference in commission must be the same as the base salary:
2.5%(car price) = $500
car price = $500/0.025 = $20,000
__
If you prefer, you can get there with equations.
At Job 1, the pay is ...
y = 10%×(car price)
At Job 2, the pay is ...
y = 7.5%×(car price)
Setting the equal (the two opportunities pay the same), we have ...
0.10(car price) = 500 +0.075(car price)
0.025(car price) = 500 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.075(car price)
car price = 500/0.025 = 20,000 . . . . divide by 0.025
Jim would have to sell a $20,000 car each week for the jobs to pay the same.

There are 8 fl ounces in 1 cup.
Divide 128 by 8.
16 cups
So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so
![\bf \begin{cases} a+b=56\\ \boxed{b}=3a-12\\ ----------\\ a+\boxed{3a-12}=56 \end{cases}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%0Aa%2Bb%3D56%5C%5C%0A%5Cboxed%7Bb%7D%3D3a-12%5C%5C%0A----------%5C%5C%0Aa%2B%5Cboxed%7B3a-12%7D%3D56%0A%5Cend%7Bcases%7D)
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
