<span>The sum of 5 times a number and -2, added to nine times a number.
.
Looking at the first part:
The sum of '5 times a number' and '-2'
we get
5x + (-2)
or
5x - 2
.
The above is then "added to nine times a number" to get:
5x - 2 + 9x
Combining x's we get:
14x - 2

<span>Take it piece by piece:
5 times a number, rewrite as 5x
plus -2, nothing to rewrite there, that's already simplified,
added to nine times a number, rewrite as 9x.
Now, rewrite as an equation:
5x-2+9x = (See, it already looks better!)
Now combine like terms:
5x + 9x -2= 14x - 2</span></span>
From the information we have, we know the commission is at 7.25% of all she sells. So we first calculate this from total amount sold.
x =7.25/100 * 4,500
Where x is the commission earned.
x = 7.25 * 4,500 / 100
x = 7.25 * 45
x = 326.25
So commission earned is 326.25 $
We need to add this to her base salary for the week, so:
750 + 326.25 = 1, 076.25
Therefore she earned 1,076 dollars and 25 cents.

Hope this helps
if 71 paying passengers are all children, they should pay 5* 71= $355 in total.
$439 is paid so adults pay $439-$355 = $84 more than money paid by same number of children.
each adult pays $8-$5=$3 more than each child
so there are $84/$3= 28adults
and 71-28= 43 children
