Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 6 = 16 (Based on similarity)
2x = 16 + 6
2x = 22
x = 22/2
x = 11
State tax = 2% of $215 = 0.02 x $215 = $4.30
city tax = 1% of $215 = 0.01 x $215 = $2.15
retirement fund = 3% of $215 = 0.03 x $215 = $6.45
Total deductions = $15.16 + $29.33 + $4.30 + $2.15 + $6.45 = $57.39
Net income = $215 - $57.39 = $157.61
Answer:
$19.35
Step-by-step explanation:
You could actually find the compositions and thus have something to compare. You haven't shared the list of possible answer choices.
(f+g)(x) = 5x - 3 + x + 4 = 6x + 1
(f-g)(x) = 5x - 3 - x - 4 = 4x - 7
(f*g)(x) = (5x-3)((x+4) = 5x^2 + 20x - 3x - 12 = 5x^2 + 17x - 12
There are also the quotient (f/g)(x) and the compositions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).
WRite them out.
Then you could arbitrarily select x values, such as 2, 10, etc., subst. them into each composition and determine which output is greatest.
The second choice is correct
