Answer:
I need a question, then I will help
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is: y=-4x+29
To solve this, you need to know the y-intercept.
1. y=-4x+b
2. 9+-4(5)+b
3. 9=-20+b
4. b=9+20
5. b=29
6. Substitute into y=-4x+b
In any given week, salesman A earns $65 per sale, so his paycheck amounts to
(where
).
Salesman B earns $40 per sale, with a weekly salary of $300, so in any given week this salesman earns
.
Salesman C earns a flat rate of $900 per week regardless of the number of sales, so his weekly pay is
.
ANSWER: $36.25
Explanation: First find the rate. Divide $94.25 by 13 (hours) to get the rate. Now you know that Max earns $7.25 each hour he works. Multiply his hourly rate by 5 (hours) to get how much Max earns in five hours.

Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.
