Answer:

$2350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jade's total income be X

Therefore,the tax deducted was 24%x

Forming an equation:

X= 24%x + 1786

X = 0.24x + 1786

Collecting like terms

x - 0.24x = 1786

0.76x =1786

x= 1786 ÷0.76

X= $2350

Decrease of 25% means only 855 people? Okay, so you want to backtrack. If you divide by 25% you’re going to get what it was for a 75% decrease. So divide by .75 instead. 855/.75 = 1140 unemployed residents last month

Given the equation 4x + 7 = 3(2x − 5), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.

MariettaO [177]

Part 1: $4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5)$

$4x+7=6x-15$

$7=6x-15-4x

$

$7=2x-15$

$7+15=2x$

$22=2x$

$22=2x / 2$

$x=11$

Part 2: Sam is not correct because <span>he messed up the second step. He added 2x on both sides to get 7x, instead he should have subtracted. </span>
