Let the unknown consecutive integers be x, x+1

x+x+1=-95

2x+1=-95

2x=-95-1

2x=-96

x=-96/2

x=-48

x=-48

x=-48x+1=-48+1=-47

-48 and -47 are the two consecutive integers

An equation is shown below: 8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27 Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, and explain ea

blsea [12.9K]

1) Distribute 8(2x-14) + 13 = 4x - 27 then simplify like terms to get: 16x - 99 = 4x - 27.
2) Subtract 4x on both sides and at the same time add 99 to both sides to get: 12x=72.
3) Divide both sides by 12 to get x=6.
PART B: 6 makes the equation true because you just solved for it.

Mrs. Robinson, an insurance agent, earns a salary of $4,800 per year plus a 3% commission on her sales. The average price of a p

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Required inequality is $4800+183x>8000$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mrs. Robinson, an insurance agent, earns a salary of $4,800 per year plus a 3% commission on her sales. The average price of a policy she sells is $6,100. Write an inequality to find how many policies Mrs. Robinson must sell to make an annual income of at least $8,000.

Calculation is given by:

Salary per year = $4,800

Average price of a policy = $6,100.

commission on her sales = 3%

Then commission on $6,100 = 3% of $6,100 = 0.03 ($6,100) = $183

Let number of policies Mrs. Robinson must sell to make an annual income of at least $8,000 = x

then total commission on x policies = 183x

Total income using x policies = 4800+183x

Since she wants to make an annual income of at least $8,000. so we can write inequality as:

$4800+183x>8000$

Hence required inequality is $4800+183x>8000$ .
