I'm pretty sure it would be y=2x+9
2 + 2 x 4 - 16 = -6
How?
Use PEMDAS.
The first step that shows up is multiplication.
2 + 8 - 16
Next comes Addition.
10 - 16
-6
The correct equation that models for this problem is x over y or x/y.
Let the following values be:
x - would be the money or commissions that Duncan earned.
y - would be the 20 percent that he gives his assistant
Seven and Seventy-Five Hundredths
