Tom and Isaiah have summer jobs selling newspaper subscriptions door-to-door, but their compensation plans are different. Tom earns a base wage of $11 per hour, as well as $2 for every subscription that he sells. Isaiah gets $3 per subscription sold, in addition to a base wage of $9 per hour. If they each sell a certain number of subscriptions in an hour, they will end up earning the same amount. How much would each one earn? How many subscriptions would that be?

x = 10.1

step-by-step explanation:

all of the angles of a tirangle add up to 180º

180 - 65 = 115 (since we already know the value of one angle)

(2x + 7) + (8x + 7) = 115

(combins like terms) 10x + 14 = 115

(isolate the variable subtract 14 from both sides): 10x = 101

(find the variable divide both sides by 10): x = 101/10

x = 10.1

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
