So 52 weeks in a year so
13,644.8/52=262.4 per week
53.8 is deducted from 262.4
so the deduction is 53.8 then the answer is
262.4-53.8=208.6
the 10% and 15% part is of the yearly income and 53.8 is 15% of 262.4 so that part doesn't matter
the answer of net pay is 208.6 dollars
So you would distribute what's in the parenthesis and end up with 4x-2x-6=x+1, then you combine like terms and end up with 2x-6=x+1, now you can add 6 to both sides or subtract 1 both sides (basically anything goes for this step just make sure you apply the same thing on both sides) so I'll add 6 and continue just to show you... then you end up with 2x=x+7 then you subtract 1x on both sides to get x=7. sorry it's a lot hopefully you get it know!
You have to plug them in to see each solution, so the answers that apply would be 65 and 66 all the other answers are less than or equal to 8
