Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total members = 14
Each member:
Peaches = 3
Pint of cream = 1
Cost
Peaches = x cent
Pint of cream = 46 cent
46 cent = $0.46
Cost per member = 3(x cent) + 0.46
= 3x cent + 0.46
Total cost for all members = 14(3x cent + 0.46)
= 42x cent + 6.44
Answer:
a: vertical stretch
h: horizontal translation (remember not to get signs mixed up!)
k: vertical translation
We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is
. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
Sad to say it is likely D. If you are in the United States, I wouldn't know what deductions are available, but here are some possibilities.
1. Gladys is a single Mom. She gets to deduct her child.
2. Gladys owns her own home and gets to deduct her municipal tax. Michelle is renting and may be able to deduct something but not as much.
3. Gladys gets to deduct medical expenses. Michelle does not.
4. Gladys has a travelling allowance that is deductible. Michelle does not.
5. Gladys goes to church and tithes. Michelle does not.
6. Gladys has a registered savings plan. Michelle does not.
The problem is that the two women might very well be in a different tax bracket when all the deductions are considered. That depends on how the US system works. I don't think you are supposed to choose A. All other things being equal, they should be in the same tax bracket.
I don't see how B would come about. Usually state is dependent on Federal (it is in Canada anyway).
C is definitely wrong unless the savings plan is registered. Any savings plan that produces dividends or interest that is not registered is taxable.
Wooooooo hoooooooo you goooooooo
