Answer:

The answer to your question is:

James = $ 39430

Lin = $42930

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Lin earns $3500 more per year than James

Together they earn $82360

Lin = L

James = J

                  L = J + 3500

                  L + J = 82360

                  J + 3500 + J = 82360

                  2J = 82360 - 3500

                  2J = 78860

                 J = 78860 / 2

                J = $ 39430

                 L = 39430 + 3500

                L = $42930

Let James' salary be x. This means Lin's salary is x + 3500.

James' salary (x) + Lin's salary (x + 3500) = the total salary of 82,360

x + (x + 3500) = 82,360

Combine like terms

2x + 3500 = 82,360

Subtract 3500 from both sides

2x = 78,860

Divide both sides by 2

x = 39,430

This is James salary. Lin's salary is 3500 more, which is 42,930.

Sliva [168]
\frac{1}{x-1}+ \frac{2}{x+2}= \frac{3}{2}
\frac{1(x+2)}{(x-1)(x+2)}+ \frac{2(x-1)}{(x+2)(x-1)}= \frac{3(x-1)(x+2)}{2}
\frac{x+2+2(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+2)}= \frac{3(x-1)(x+2)}{2}
\frac{x+2+2x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)}= \frac{3(x-1)(x+2)}{2}
\frac{3x+1}{(x-1)(x+2)}= \frac{3(x^2+x-2)}{2}
\frac{}{(x-1)(x+2)}= \frac{3x^2+3x-6)}{2}
\frac{3x+1}{(x^2+x-2)}= \frac{3x^2+3x-6)}{2}
\frac{2(3x+1)}{2(x^2+x-2)}= \frac{3x^2+3x-6)(x^2+x-2)}{2(x^2+x-2)}
\frac{2(3x+1)}{2(x^2+x-2)}-\frac{3x^2+3x-6)(x^2+x-2)}{2(x^2+x-2)}=0
\frac{2(3x+1)-3x^2+3x-6}{2(x^2+x-2)}=0

Double Points! (i have no clue how to do this)<br> Find the value of the variables in the figure.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

x=12 and y=31

Step-by-step explanation:

First, ( 5x - 7 ) and ( 3x + 17 ) are alternate interior angles, which means they are congruent, or equal:

5x - 7 = 3x + 17

Add 7 to each side:

5x = 3x + 24

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2x = 24

Divide each side by 2:

x = 12

Now we can see that ( 5x - 7 ) and ( 4y + 3 ) are supplementary angles, which means they will add up to 180 degrees:

5x - 7 + 4y + 3 = 180

Substitute 12 in for x to solve for y:

5 ( 12 ) - 7 + 4y + 3 = 180

60 - 7 + 4y + 3 = 180

combine like terms:

( 60 + ( -7 ) + 3 ) + 4y = 180

56 + 4y = 180

Subtract 56 from each side:

4y = 124

Divide each side by 4:

y = 31
