Answer:

Unfortunately I can't read your answer options properly. The copied text is just too messed up. But hopefully the step-by-step calculation will help you.

Lemme know if it worked for you and if you have further questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2y = -6

can be rewritten as

2y = 3x + 6

or simpler

y = 1.5x + 3

we know that it's parallel to this line, but we don't know how much lower or higher the new line will be, so let's set "+3" as an unknown variable.

y = 1.5x + b

(the letter b is now what we try to solve for)

now let's plug in the x-/y-Informations of the given point

2 = 1.5 * 4 + b

2 = 6 + b

-4 = b

so the new line is

y = 1.5x -4

(the given point lies on that line and it's parallel to the other line)

let's multiply everything by two to get closer to the original format

2y = 3x -8

it could also be expressed as

2y = -(-3x+8)

(in hope that this may help for choosing an answer option)

please clean up the text of questions before posting next time

(would really appreciate the brainliest)

= 2^-16 * 3^10 * 3^-8 * 3^-12 * 2^28

= 2^(-16 + 28) * 3^(10 - 8 - 12)

= 2^12 * 3^-10

= 2^12 / 3^10

Merry Soy, married, earns a weekly salary of $830 and claims one withholding allowance. By the percentage method, how much incom

xxMikexx [17]

You need to find the amount subject to withholding, subtracting from the weekly salary the amount for one withholding allowance for weekly salaries, which is 77.90$:

830 - 77.90 = 752.1 $.

Then, look in the Fed Tax tables (
http://www.opers.ok.gov/Websites/opers/images/pdfs/2016-Fed-Tax-Tables.pdf ) for a married person with a weekly payroll.

You previously found an amount of 752.1 which is greater than 521 but less than 1613$: therefore the income tax to withhold is 35.70$ + 15% of excess over $521.

Therefore, calculate the income tax due: 35.70 + (752.1 - 521) × 15 ÷ 100 = 70.37$

The total amount of income tax that will be withheld is 70.37$

26 out of the 65 magazines at the bookstore are women's magazines. What percentage of the magazines at the bookstore are women's

egoroff_w [7]

The fraction $\frac{26}{64}$ represents the number of women's magazines out of all the other magazines at the book store.

To find what percent of the magazines are women's magazines, we can turn $\frac{26}{64}$ into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100 so to write 26/64 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 26/64 with 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

40% is the answer

Which relation is a function

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Top left

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for it to be a function, it has to pass the vertical line test. So draw a line down the middle of the graphs. If it passes once, then it is a function, if it passes more than once it is not.
