x = 30

The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.

Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.

Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.

Hope this helps! :)

Carys is checking her tax bill for the last year .the tax rates were as follows: no tax on the first 11000 of earnings .earnings

faust18 [17]

Answer:

$7,440.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the tax rates as follows:

$0-$11,000 = No tax.

$11,000-$43,000 = 20%.

$43,000-$150,000 = 40%.

Earnings over $150,000 = 45%.

Since last year Carys earned $45,600, so we will have to find the tax paid by her for 11,000-43,000 at rate of 20%, then the tax for amount over 43,000 at the rate of 40%.

$\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for 11000-43000}=\frac{20}{100}\times (43,000-11,000)$

$\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for 11000-43000}=0.20\times (32,000)$

$\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for 11000-43000}=6400$

$\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for the amount over 43000}=\frac{40}{100}\times (45,600-43,000)$

$\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for the amount over 43000}=0.40\times (2600)$

$\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for the amount over 43000}=1040$

$\text{The total amount of tax paid by Carys}=6400+1040$

$\text{The total amount of tax paid by Carys}=7440$

Therefore, Carys paid an amount of $7,440 in tax.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of circles = 64

Number of square = 96

Number of triangles = 48

Factor of 64, 96 and 48;

$64=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2$

$96= 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

$48= 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

Factors do these numbers have in common are:

64 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

96= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

48= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common factors = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 =16
