Answer:

$1753.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Kane's Annual Salary = $42,500

Gross Pay = $42,500

Net Pay = Gross Pay - 1% of Gross Pay

=42500 - (0.01 X 42500)

=$42,075

Since he is paid twice a month with paychecks being of equal amounts.

Number of Payments in a Year =12 X 2= 24

Therefore, Kane's Take Home pay after Medicare taxes

$= \$42075 \div 24\\=\$1753.13$ (to the nearest cent)$

Farmer Brown has 42 animals, which are cows and chickens. They have a total of 120 legs. Write a system of equations, show your

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The system of equations is:

x + y = 42

4x + 2y = 120

And there are 24 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of cows (x) plus the total number of chickens (y) is 42, because Farmer Brown has 42 animals.

We also know that cows (x) have 4 legs and so 4 times the number of cows is the number of cow legs. And chickens (y) have 2 legs, so the number of chickens times two represents the total chicken legs. The sum of 4x + 2y is 120 because there are 120 legs in total.

To solve the system of equations, first solve each equation for y.

In the first equation:

x + y = 42

Subtract x from both sides to isolate y.

y = 42 - x

Second equation:

4x + 2y = 120

Subtract 4x from both sides

2y = 120 - 4x

Divide both sides by 2

y = 60 - 2x

Now that the y's are isolated in both equation, you can put them into 1 equation. Where y = y:
