first, spread the parenthesis. y+2=1/2x-1.5
second, add 1.5 to both sides. y+3.5=1/2x
third, multiply by 2. 2y+7=x
if you are solving for y, do not do the third step, instead, subtract by 3.5. y=x-3.5
hope this helps!
ANSWER: x=2y+7 or y=x-3.5
Answer: a) 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the volume of an oblique pyramid is given by :-

If the volume of an oblique pyramid with a square base is V units³ and the height is h units.
Then, we have

Multiply 3 on both sides , we get

Divide both sides by h , we get

i.e. 
Hence, the expression represents the area of the base of the pyramid = 
Hence, the correct answer is a) 3 v/h units^2
First you need to solve for how much you lose for each individual tax, so 420x.0765 will give you how much money you lose to social security tax, then do the same for the other types and add them together, the value will give you the amount you have lost, so taking the total (420) minus the amount lost you will have the amount that you can "take home"
So 420-((420x.0765)+(420x.22)+(420x.0595)) = amount still in your pocket
