Question

alex sells cars at keith palmer ford. he earns$400 a week plus $150 per car he sells.if he earned $1450 last week how many cars did he sell?

Answer 1

Alex earns $400 per week.
He gets $150 per car (x).

"x" is the number of cars Alex has sold.

400 + 150x

If he earned $1450 last week, then
400 + 150x = 1450

First, you subtract 400 from both sides.
150x = 1050

Then divide both sides by 150.
x = 7

Therefore, Alex sold 7 cars last week.

hope this helps!
