This question is impossible to answer, been looking for an hour..

OpenStudy (naudiapie):

Jen and Crystal sell home theater systems. Jen earns a base salary of $2400 per month, plus $100 for each system he sells. Crystal earns a base salary of $2200 per month, plus $120 for each system she sells. How many systems do Jen and Crystal have to sell before they earn the same amount of money?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2400+100x=2200+120x then solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200=20x 10=x

@daomowon

OpenStudy (naudiapie):

hwo did you get 200=20

OpenStudy (naudiapie):

so you subtracted them to get the difference .. 2400 - 2200 = 200 and 120 - 100 = 20 , then divided (200)/(20) = 10

OpenStudy (naudiapie):

finally an answer, i've been asking for like an hour, i get it now, jeez

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 2200-2000, then subtract 120x-100x, from the first equation you need to get the like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
