If we place what the husband earns as h and what the wife earns as w, we can begin...
w + h = 110000

but w = 2h - 16000

We can turn it into..

2h - 16000 + h = 110000

Which we can then combine into..

3h - 16000 = 110000

Add 16000 and..

3h = 126000

Divide by three...

h = 42000

(nice)

The husband earns 42,000$ a year

Bonus: The wife then earns 68,000$

42,000 (or h) + 68,000 (or w) = 110,000

Because this is the original equation, we are correct.

A taxi costs 1.65 for the first mile and 0.85 for each additional mile. Which equation could be solved to find the number x of a
diamong [38]
1.65 + 0.85x= $20
           0.85x=$18.35
                 x=21 10/17 
first you write the equation 
then you have to subtract 1.65 from the equation but you also have to subtract it from 20 
then you divide 0.85 from 0.85x and from the 18.35 left over from subtracting 1.65 from 20 
then you should get x=21 10/17 (simplified) but the decimal form is a ongoing fraction so you can just round it up to the nearest hundredth
