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.
Answer:
slope=m
m= -2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
7^4 the ^ is the exponent symbol if you did not know
7^4=2,401
Answer:
<em>(-6, 0) and (0, 1.5)</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line in pint slope form is expressed as;
y-y0= m(x-x0)
m is the slope
(x0, y0) is the point on the line
Given
m = 1/4
(x0, y0) = (6,3)
Substitute into the formula;
y - 3 = 1/4(x-6)
4(y-3) = x - 6
4y - 12 = x-6
4y - x = -6+12
4y - x = 6
x = 4y - 6
To get the points to plot, we will find the x and y-intercept of the resulting expression.
For the x-intercept,
at y = 0
x = 4(0) - 6
x = -6
Hence the x-intercept is at (-6, 0)
For the y-intercept,
at x = 0
0 = 4y - 6
4y = 6
y = 6/4
y = 3/2
y = 1.5
Hence the y-intercept is at (0, 1.5)
<em>Hence the required points to plot to get the required line are (-6, 0) and (0, 1.5)</em>
