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

find three consecutive even integers so that the twice the sum of the second and third is twelve less than six times the first
zysi [14]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]

twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12

The equation:

2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12

2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12

2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12       <em>use distributive property</em>

(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12

4n + 12 = 6n - 12       <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

4n = 6n - 24       <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>

-2n = -24        <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangular park is 300 feet. The length of the park is 50 feet longer than the width.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

85 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W where L is the length and W is the width. If the length is 50 feet longer than the width, we can write the expression L=50+W. Substituting into P=2L+2W we get P=2(50+W)+2W=100+2W+2W=100+4W. Since P=300, we can say 300=100+4W. Subtracting 100 from each side we get 200=4W. Dividing each side by 4 gives 50=W. Substituting this into L=50+W gives L=50+35=85. The length is 85 feet.

FInd three consecutive even integers such that three times the smallest is four more than twice the largest
Oksanka [162]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

3n = 2(n + 4) + 4     |use distributive property

3n = (2)(n) + (2)(4) + 4

3n = 2n + 8 + 4

3n = 2n + 12    |subtract 2n from both sides

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

Answer: 12, 14, 16.
