YYMATH5,


DISCUSSION:This is the question I have to answer.

1.If you have a problem that has multiple variables, you can solve it using a system of equations. Think of a real-world example where you would need to solve using a system of equations.

Write two or three sentences describing your example.

Include the equations in your description, but do not solve the system.

USING SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS TO SOLVE SALARY

2.Salary option 1 is $800 per week plus a 2% commission in sales. Salary option 2 is $600 per week plus a 4% commission in sales. Find the weekly sales level that creates equal salaries.

 

X1=400+2(x/100)

X2=600+4(x/100

 

3.Milan has two envelops with money, their sum of $248 and their difference is $42. what is the amount of money in each envelop.

Let M= the amount of money in envelop 1

N= amount of money in envelop 2

The first equation is about the sum(total) of money in both envelop

M+N= $248

The second equation deals with difference

M-N=42

This equation can be solved using all three methods; substitution, elimination and graphing
