Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The odd numbers.

Suppose you have 31 and 27 when you add these two together, you get 58 which is not an odd number.

If you need a more mathematical proof, you could do it this way.

2x+1

2x is even. Anything multiplied by 2 is even. When you add 1 you get an odd number

So continue on

2y + 1 is the other number.

2x + 1 + 2y + 1 = 2(x + y) + 2

2 (x + y ) is even. When you add 2 to it, nothing changes. The result is still even.

Marlene's taxable income is $95,000. Use this tax schedule to calculate the total amount she owes in taxes. A. 12,88.75 B. 17,90

zheka24 [161]

The answer is C.

Since here taxable income is over $77,100 and below $160,850, her tax is $15,698.75 + [.28*($95,000 - $77,100)].

Tax = $15,698.75 + [.28*($17,900)].
= $15,698.75 + [$5012].
= $20,710.75

What is the point of an object where the force of gravity is considered to act?

Luden [163]

Gravity always acts downward on every object on earth. Gravity multiplied by the object's mass produces a force called weight. Although the force of an object's weight acts downward on every particle of the object, it is usually considered to act as a single force through its balance point, or center of gravity.
