GIVE OUT 2) Kathleen is a sales associate in a jewelry store. She earns $560/wk plus an 8% commission on sales. How much does she need to sell in a week to earn at least $700 that week?

a. Write an inequality equation to solve the problem. Use your choice of variable.

b. How much does she need to sell to earn at least $700 that week?

c. Graph the solution on a number line.

Answers:

700<=560+0.08x

x is total sales $

the 560 is the constant weekly pay, since we're only calculating for one week.

we're adding 0.08x to account for the 8% of the total sales

solve it for x:

700-560 <= 0.08x

140 <= 0.08x

1750 <= x

or x >= 1750

meaning she needs $1750 worth of sales that week to earn atleast $700

as for C) just draw a number line with the number 1750 in the middle and the right shaded because it is 1750 or more.

i got 142 as my answer

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
