Answer:

The ratio of the sales tax to Josh income is greater than the sales tax to aaron income (As the income of the Josh is less as compared to the arron income) this shows the tax is bigger burden for the Josh as compared to the aaron .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The sales tax on a $20 hammer is 7 percent, or $1.40.

As income of the  josh is 15000 and the income of the aaron is $150000 .

Now the ratio of the sales tax to the josh income .

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{1.40}{15000}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{14}{15000\times 10}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{7}{75000}

In decimal form

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = 0.000093\ (Approx)

Now the ratio of the  sales tax to the aaron income .

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{1.40}{150000}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{14}{150000\times 10}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{7}{750000}

In decimal form

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = 0.0000093\ (Approx)

Thus as the ratio of the sales tax to Josh income is greater than the sales tax to aaron income (As the income of the Josh is less as compared to the arron income) this shows the tax is bigger burden for the Josh as compared to the aaron .

The slope of the line below is 0.8. Write the equation of the line in point-slope
AlexFokin [52]

The equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the  slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)

<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:

\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The slope m = 0.8

The line passing through coordinates (-2,-3)

y = mx + c

y = 0.8x + c

Plug the point in the equation.

-3 = 0.8(-2) + c

c = -1.4

y = 0.8x - 1.4

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the  slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)

Explain why 48 divided by x equal 6 is the same as 48-x-x-x-x-x-x
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, they are not the same. For one thing, 48÷x = 6 is an equation.

48-x-x-x-x-x-x is an expression, not an equation.
