    The equasion she would use would be 60,000 = 1000x + 40,000

    this would means 1,000 times a number plus the 40,000 shes already getting equals 60,000

    Well she automatically makes 40,000 a year. lets say x is the amount of cars she sells. and she gets 1,000 for each sold. so if she sells 2 cars she would get 2 * 1,000. 3 cars would be 3 * 1,000. but we just want to say x cars so we use x * 1,000.

    so she makes 40,000 plus her commission which is x * 1,000. so if the amount she makes is represented by y then:

    y = 40,000 + (x * 1,000)

    if she wants to make 60,000 in a year then y = 60,000. substitute that into our equation and get

    60,000 = 40,000 + (x * 1,000)

    20,000 = x * 1,000

    x = 20.

    so she would have to sell 20 cars
