Answer:

-8/7 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2         x+1

----- = -----------

12         x+2

Using cross products

-2 (x+2) = 12 (x+1)

Distribute

-2x -4 = 12x+12

Add 2x to each side

-2x+2x -4 = 12x+2x+12

-4 = 14x +12

Subtract 12 from each side

-4-12 = 14x

-16 = 14x

Divide each side by 14

-16/14 =14x/14

-8/7 =x

Daniella is interviewing for a job. She wants her take-home pay to be at least $51,000 
Lilit [14]
Okay. So Daniella wants to have a take-home pay of at least $51,000, but she ahs to pay 15% income tax, which means 15% of what she earns will be gone. To find out the least amont of salary she needs to make, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

51,000/x = 85/100

This is because we are looking for the amount of money made overall, but the $51,000 is only part of the salary earned, and even though you pay 15% income tax, you still take home 85% of your salary. Cross multiply the valyes in order to get 5,100,000 = 85x. Divide each side by 85 to isolate the variable. 5,100,000/85 is 60,000. Let's check this by multiplying by 85% (0.85). 60,000 * 0.85 is 51,000. There. x = 60,000. Daniella will need to make at least $60,000.
