Y=42 Y=?
X=6 X=3
cross multiply
so 42times3=6timesY
126=6Y
Y=126 divided by 6
=21
The answer would be positive 24. The reason being is because of the fact that two negatives when multiplied cancel the negative. Also 12 * 2 is 24 so yeah
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
The valve of the expression would be 184
I think it’s Reflection and translation hope this helps :)
