If we place what the husband earns as h and what the wife earns as w, we can begin...
w + h = 110000
but w = 2h - 16000
We can turn it into..
2h - 16000 + h = 110000
Which we can then combine into..
3h - 16000 = 110000
Add 16000 and..
3h = 126000
Divide by three...
h = 42000
(nice)
The husband earns 42,000$ a year
Bonus: The wife then earns 68,000$
42,000 (or h) + 68,000 (or w) = 110,000
Because this is the original equation, we are correct.

Answer:
Each hot dog = $3
Each french fry = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets define our variables:
x = Hotdog
y = fries
Next, you need to set up a cost equation for both Toby and Bernie:
8x + 5y = 34
2x + 6y = 18
Now, we need to isolate one of the variable:
2x + 6y = 18
2x = 18 - 6y
x = 9 - 3y
Next, we need to insert this equation back into the first equation (8x+5y = 34) to find the cost of y (fries):
8x +5y = 34
8 (9-3y) + 5y = 34
72 - 24y + 5y = 34
72 - 19y = 34
19y = 38
y or fries = $2
Finally, we need to find the cost of each hotdog by using the cost of fries ($2) in one of the formulas:
2x + 6y = 18
2x + 6(2) = 18
2x + 12 = 18
2x = 6
x or hotdog = $3
I hope this helps!

Answer:
7 sweets
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the constant of proportionality is 7 since 35/5 since it is the ratio for Natasha. Since 7 is the constant of proportionality, you multiply it by the difference of the ratios. In this case, Natasha and Henry have a difference of 1 in ratios. Since it is a difference of 1, you multiply that by the constant of proportionality, 7. 7 X 1 is equal to 7, so Natasha gets 7 more sweets than Henry.
