The graphic artist receives 5% amount of the total sales as his royalty payment. The 3% from this royalty payment goes to his agent and remaining 97% are with the artist. So first we calculate the initial 5% amount the graphic artist will recieve, which will be:

$100,000 is the total royalty payment the graphic artist will receive. From this amount 3% goes to agent and 97% goes with artist. So the actual amount graphic artist will earn will be:

Thus, the graphic artist earns $97,000
The 3 consecutive numbers are 41, 42, and 43 : 41+42+43= 126
Answer: The answer is (5(x-1))/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
5x² - 5/ 3x² + 3x
= 5(x+1)(x-1) all over 3x(x+1)
= 5x - 5 over 3x
Hope this info helps
I think that is a linear function
