Sandra is a realtor. She makes a 4.5% commission on the value of the houses she sells. If Sandra sold $250,000 worth of houses, how much did she earn as her commission?

$11250

Step-by-step explanation:

She makes a 4.5% commission on the value of the houses she sells. If Sandra sold $250,000  worth of houses.

We need to find how much she earn as her commission. Let it is x. We can calculate by finding 4.5% of $250,000. It is given by :

So, she will earn $11250  as her commission.

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
