Shane is a salesperson. He earns an hourly wage of $8.00 per hour, plus he receives a commission of 7% on sales he makes. Write an equation which would be used to determine his weekly salary, W, where, X, is the number of hours worked, and Y, is the amount of sales for the week.

8X+.07Y=W

Step-by-step explanation:

x is your hours and y is your sales

he makes 8 an hour, hence 8X or 8 x X

7 percent written as a decimal is .07 and his commission for sales, so .07Y

add them together and you get your equation:

8X+.07Y=W

i pretty sure it is

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
