You can think in reverse. Addition is the opposite of subtraction. So to solve 15-8, you can ask "8 plus what number is equal to 15?" and note how 8+7 = 15. So that's why 15-8 = 7. Similarly, 15-7 = 8 can be solved the same way.
Answer:
First,
the age of the son: s
the age of the father is 2 less than 7 times the age of his son: 7s - 2
In 3 years, the sum of their ages will be 52, In 3 years, the age of the sun will
increase 3, so s+3. Also, the age of his
father also increase 3, (7s-2)+3
(s+3)+ [(7s-2)+3] = 52 is the equation.
Answer:
The blank is 170
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio from miles traveled to miles to go is 1:-1
520-0=520
520-100=420
520-200=320
520-350=170
520-520=0
Answer:
Total taxes = $1,520
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two separate calculations for the taxes:
The tax rate for the first $5,000 of Clarisa's gross pay is 1%, so the amount of tax paid in this case is
1% * 5000 = $50
The tax rate for the amount of value over $5,000 (that is, 54,000 - 5,000 = 49,000) is 3%, so the amount of tax is:
3% * 49,000 = $1,470
So, the total amount deducted for state taxes is:
Total taxes = 50 + 1470 = $1,520
