X + 3y = 14
x + 3(3x - 14) = 14
x + 9x - 42 = 14
10x - 42 = 14
<u> + 42 + 42</u>
<u>10x</u> = <u>56</u>
10 10
x = 5.6
5.6 + 3y = 14
<u>- 5.6 - 5.6</u>
<u>3y</u> = <u>8.4</u>
3 3
y = 2.7
(x, y) = (2.7, 5.6)
Answer:
9425
D
Step-by-step explanation:
They are in the third tax bracket down. That means that their joint income is over 67900 but less than 137050.
The base rate is 9350. But they are 68200 - 67900 = 300 over the minimum.
So 25% of that 300 is also to be paid to the government 25/100 * 300 = 75 dollars
Now they must pay 9350 + 75 = 9425
Answer D
Answer: D is the correct answer.
Root 25 is the rational number as it equals 5
Answer:
x = $0.50
y= $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply the equations to have the same coefficients
5(6x + 6y = 7.5) → 30x + 30y = 37.5
3(10x + 5y = 8.75) → 30x + 15y = 26.25
2. Subtract the equations
30x + 30y = 37.5
<u>- 30x + 15y = 26.25</u>
15y = 11.25
3. Solve for y by dividing both sides by 15
y = 0.75
4. Plug in 0.75 for y into one of the equations
6x + 6(0.75) = 7.5
5. Simplify
6x + 4.5 = 7.5
6. Solve for x
6x = 3
x = 0.5
