on the first day of your garage sale, you earn 12x+9 dollars. The next day you earn 22x dollars. Is it possible that you earned the same amount each day? Explain. ​

Sagot :

Set the two expressions equal to one another and solve for x

22x = 12x+9

22x-12x = 9

10x = 9

x = 9/10

x = 0.9

Assuming x is the number of items sold, then it is not possible to have the same amount earned for the two days. This is because we cannot sell 0.9 of an item. So it appears it is not possible to earn the same amount each day.
