They are congruent.
you use 12x-18 = 8x+10 to solve for x
We are asked to solve for the monthly income given that 30% of it goes to your expenses.
Expenses per month = $702.38
Expenses percent from income = 30% = 0.3
Total income per month = X
The solution is shown below:
$702.38 = 30% * X
X = $702.38 / 0.3
X = $2,341.27
The total income is $2,341.27.
<span>1. Find the difference
2. Divide the difference by the original number it went up from.

450-375 = 75
75/375 = 0.2
You got a 20% raise.
Proof:
375*.2 = 75
375+75 = 450
9.8 I think... I hope this helps in any way
