Are you sure you didn’t miss anything while writing the question?
Cause we have nothing to go off. Everybody types differently so there is no way for us to say how long he typed for, unless we were given aprox how many words he wrote in a minute or something
First identify what each variable means. since X is the amount of hours he works, and he makes $6.50 an hour, you know you need to multiply those two numbers together creating the 6.50x. You also know Y is his total sales, and he earns 4% of Y. To find 4% of Y you need to turn the percent into a decimal, and to do this you move the decimal two spaces to the left. Since 4 is a whole number, the decimal is after the 4 so you get .04 as your decimal. Then youd multiply .04 by Y getting .04y. Lastly you add 6.50x + .04y to get E, mikes total earnings. So your final equation is
6.50x + .04y = e
Hope this all makes sense
Inconsistent, they're parallel lines
