Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of $25. Option B is a commission rate of 8% on weekly sales.

First of all we will find amount earned by salesperson with option A.

\text{Option A earnings}=40\times 25=1000Option A earnings=40×25=1000

The salespersons earns $1000 through option A.

Let x be the amount of weekly sales.

8% of x should be equal to 1000 for salesman to earn the same amount with the two options.

\frac{8}{100}x=1000

100

8

x=1000

0.08 x=10000.08x=1000

x=\frac{1000}{0.08}x=

0.08

1000

x=12500x=12500

Therefore, the salesman needs to make a weekly sales of $12,500 to earn the same amount with two options.

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
