Answer 1

are u sure its an equation, it seems like an inequality 

Answer 2

Answer:

$450 + 0.05x ≥ 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lia gets paid $450 a week plus a 5% commission on her sales.

She hopes to earn at least $600 a week.

We don't know her sales amount.

Let "x" be the amount of her sales.

She gets 5% commission.

Commission amount = 5% of x = 0.05x

She hopes to earn at least $600 a week. Here "at least" represented by the inequality "$\geq$"

$450 + 0.05x ≥ 600

The above inequality represents given situation.
