Problem 3
The constant term is 290. This is the term that stays the same no matter what the value of 'a' happens to be. Contrast this with the variable term 2.50a which changes if 'a' changes (hence the name "variable" for "vary" or "change")
If Mike sold 0 accessories, then a = 0 and the expression would be
2.50*a + 290 = 2.50*0 + 290 = 290
Selling 0 accessories leads to $290. This is the amount he is guaranteed with the 2.50a portion being additional money to motivate him to sell more.

Answer: Choice (3) 290, amount he is guaranteed
======================================
Problem 4
Plug y = 0 into the equation. Solve for x
9x - 14y = -3
9x - 14*0 = -3 .... replace y with 0
9x - 0 = -3
9x = -3
9x/9 = -3/9 ... divide both sides by 9
x = -3/9
x = -1/3

Answer: Choice (3) which is -1/3
Y=-3+3 answer do I need to explain?
So a=2 since a is next to the first 2 it would be 2x2 which equals 4 next it’s B and B= -3 so -3x4 equals -12 and then c also equals 2 so it would be -12x2 and that equals -24. Moving on to the next part as I said a=2 so it would be 3x2 and that equals 6 next it’s B again so 6x -3 equals -18 so now take -24 and -18 and subtract them and you would get -6. Sorry if this answer is wrong I did my best...hope it helped.
B is the answer because if u subtact both x and y
You set (x+15) equal to 40 and solve for x.
x+15=40
-15 -15
x=25
Hope this helps!
