<span>Jack Watkins earns a base salary of $1500 a month, plus a 4% commission on the sales he makes. What is his gross pay of his sales for the month are $8000.
solution:
Gross pay=(salary)+(commissions)
base salary=$1500

commissions earned in cash
=4/100</span>×8000
=$320
thus
Gross salary=320+1500=$1820
Perpendicular line: y = 2x+4
parallel line: y = -2x+3 (or any number different from 4)
neither: y= -4x+-3
x² - 80 = 0
Add 80
to each side: x² = 80
Square root
each side: x = √80
Look it up: x = + 8.944... (rounded)
and
x = - 8.944... (rounded).

Here's a cleaner solution:
x² - 80 = 0
Add 80
to each side: x² = 80
Square root
each side: x = √80
But 80 = 16 · 5
So √80 = √16 · √5
√16 = 4, so x = 4 √5
Answer:
x= -2
