Remove parentheses
3m - 7m+12 = 2 m-3
collect like terms
3m-7m-12 = 2m-6
move terms
-4m - 12 = 2m-6
collect the like terms and calculate
-4m-2m = -6+12
divide both sides by -6
-6m=6
m= -1
Ok so
x - the smallest
The other 4 are : x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4
We know that sum is 120
So
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=120
Combine like terms
5x+10=120
Subtract 10 on both sides
5x=120-10
5x=110
Divide by 5 on both sides
X=22
The third number is x+2 = 22+2=24
To make the equation easier so that you don't have to use fractions.
Answer:
$2,373.23
Step-by-step explanation:
-Tax refund is determined by comparing your total income tax to the amount that was withheld for federal income tax.
-Assuming that the amount withheld for federal income tax was greater than your income tax for the year, you will receive a refund for the difference.
#Refund =Withheld -Actual Tax liability=$15345.21-$12971.98=$2,373.23
Hence James' tax refund will be $2,373.23
First set everything to 0.
Giving you A= 1 , B= 1 and C= -5
Then input everything into the quadratic formula and either solve by hand or use a calculator.
Note exact values are found by hand, decimals are found using a calculator.
