100 ---> 96 is -4
96 ---> 104 is +8
104 ---> 88 is -16
88 ---> 120 is +32
120 ---> 56 is -64
So first we go down by 4, then up by 8, then down 16, then up 32, then finally down 64.
The pattern of numbers is: -4, +8, -16, +32, -64
Notice it's the powers of 2:
2^2 = 4
2^3 = 8
2^4 = 16
2^5 = 32
2^6 = 64
each term doubles. Also each term alternates in sign. One is positive, then the next is negative and so on.
The last difference is -64, which doubles to -128. Change the sign to positive to get +128
Add 128 to the last term of 56 to get
128+56 = 184
Therefore, the final answer is 184

Answer:
$3400
Step-by-step explanation:
The way these tax tables are structured, you pay 3% on the first $10,000, 5% on the next $40,000, and 5.5% on the remaining $20,000 above $50,000.
tax = 0.03·10,000 +0.05·(50,000 -10,000) +0.055·(70,000 -50000)
= 300 + 2000 +1100
= 3400 . . . dollars
The tax owed on $70,000 is $3,400.

<em>Additional comment</em>
I like to rewrite this sort of table to a different format:
- 3% of income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . applies for income ≤ 10,000
- (5% of income) -$200 . . . . . . . . applies for 10,000 < income ≤ 50,000
- (5.5% of income) -$450 . . . . . . .applies for 50,000 < income ≤ 100,000
For an income of $70,000, the tax computation using this form is one multiplication and one addition, rather than 3 multiplications and 4 additions as used when navigating the given table.

b 3x +7y =59
Step-by-step explanation:
x is water balloons at 3 each and y is t-shirts at 7$ each.
Answer:
The third side is sqrt(77)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
2^2 + b^2 = 9^2
4+ b^2 = 81
Subtract 4 from each side
b^2 = 81-4
b^2=77
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(77)
b = sqrt(77)
The third side is sqrt(77)
