1.8- 3.7x = 4.2x + 0.3
Move 4.2x to the other side
Sign changes from +4.2x to -4.2x
1.8-3.7x-4.2x= 4.2x-4.2x+0.3
1.8-3.7x-4.2x= 0.3
1.8-7.9x= 0.3
Move 1.8 to the other side
Sign changes from +1.8 to -1.8
1.8-1.8-7.9x= 0.3-1.8
-7.9x= 0.3-1.8
-7.9x= -1.5
divide both sides by -7.9
-7.9/-7.9x= -1.5/-7.9
x= 0.18987341
Answer: x= 0.18987341
We have been given that the take home pay is $1500 and 22% is withheld as taxes.
Let us assume that the gross pay is x dollars. Therefore, take home pay must be 78% of x because 22% of the pay is withheld as taxes, so you get to take home only 78% of the gross pay.
Since we have been given that take home pay is $1500 and it is 78% of the total gross pay. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

Therefore, gross pay is $1923.08
Step-by-step explanation:
The scientific notation of any number is given by :

a is any real no and b is any integer
The scientific notation of 345,000,000 should be
but Jorden wrote 34.5×10⁷. He is incorrect. He should have shifted decimal before 4 such that power of 10 becomes 8.
2x+14=60(vertical)
2x=46
x=23
