Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of items Steve sells

Let y = salary earned

Create two equations:

Vacuum sales:  y = 500 + 100x

Encyclopedia sales: y = 300 + 200x

Equal the equations and solve for x to find the number of items Steve needs to sell for the two salaries to be the same:

500 + 100x = 300 + 200x

Subtract 300 from both sides:  200 + 100x = 200x

Subtract 100x from both sides: 200 = 100x

Divide both sides by 100:  2 = x

Therefore, Steve would have to sell 2 items for the two salaries to be the same.

Answer: 04 items (02 each)

Step-by-step explanation:
Steve's base salary is $500 and $300 respectively for selling vacuum cleaner and encyclopedia. Along with that his bonus is $100 and $200 respectively. If he sells 02 items each, his earnings would be as follows:
For 02 vacuum cleaner: 500+100+100
= $700
For 02 encyclopedia: 300+200+200
= $700

notsponge [240]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

option: B is the correct answer.

                   B. complex numbers.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that a complex number is always written in the form of :

                                 a+ib

  where a and b are real numbers and i is the square root of -1.

i is called an imaginary number.

If a>0 and b>0 then the point lie in the first quadrant.

if a>0 and b<0 then the point lie in the fourth quadrant.

if a<0 and b>0 then the point lie in the second quadrant.

if a<0 and b<0 then the point lie in the third quadrant.
