Dawson's annual premium will be $2,462.40. This can be found by going across from "Male 40-44" over to "20-year coverage" which is $13.68. Since $13.68 is per $1000 of coverage, you would multiply it by 180 to get $2,462.40.
Rachel's checks I believe would have a deduction of $63.14.
<u>ANSWER</u>
A. (4,12)
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The equations are:

and

To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

We add equations (2) and (3).


Divide both sides by 23


Put x=4 into equation (1).






The solution is (4,12)
The answer would be 54. Because you start with 2.
2x3 = 6
6x3 = 18
18x3 = 54
Each month it triples so you continue
to add 3 to each result.
