Question

Cynthia earns $680 in commissions and is paid $10.25 per hour. Javier earns $410 in commissions and is paid 12.50 per hour. What will you find if you solve for x in the equation 10.25x + 680 = 12.5x +410.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

10.25x + 680 = 12.5x +410.

Subtract 10.25x from each side

10.25x-10.25x + 680 = 12.5x-10.25x +410.

680 = 2.25x +410

Subtract 410 from each side

680-410 = 2.25x +410-410

270 = 2.25x

Divide each side by 2.25

270/2.25 =2.25x/2.25

120=x
