The numbers of pears and apples bought are 16 and 20 respectively

let

x = number of pears

y = number of apples

He bought 4 more apples than pears. Therefore,

  • y = x + 4

He bought a number of pears and apples and paid $128 for them. Therefore,

  • 3x + 4y = 128
<h3>System of equation:</h3>

y - x = 4

4y + 3x = 128

Therefore,

3y - 3x = 12

4y + 3x = 128

7y = 140

y = 140 / 7

y = 20

Therefore,

20 = x + 4

x = 20 - 4

x = 16

professor190 [17]
The answer is about 13.9927.

You would divide 52/11 and then subtract that decimal by 18.65.

18.65-4.7272=13.9927.

A draw is an advance that need not be repaid if the commission does not exceed the draw. True or false?
attashe74 [19]
True, for each month throughout the draw period the company will pay the sales representative the draw amount if the sales representative made commissions that are less than the draw amount. the remaining draw amount accumulates from month to month. But when received commissions exceed the draw, this is the case that the extra commissions will be used to repay the outstanding draw. Once the gathered draw is repaid all commissions are compensated to the sales representative.

Answer:

first solve for x

8x=20

x=2.5

5x=17

x=3.4

then your equations

Madison: y=2.5x

Lucas: y=3.4x

then your ordered pairs

Madison: (4,10)

Lucas:(3,10.2)

then your slope

Madison-2.5

Lucas-3.4
