Answer: Their total budget last year was $40,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The Smiths spend 6% of their budget on entertainment.
i.e. , The money they spend on entertainment = 0.06 x ( Total budget)
{ 6% is converted to 0.06 , when we divide it by 100 to remove percentage)
Since , this year they plan to spend $2,580 on entertainment.
i.e. 0.06 x ( Total budget ) = $2,580
On dividing both sides by 0.06 , we get
( Total budget ) = $2,580 ÷ 0.06
= $43,000
Thus , their total budget for this year = $43,000
Also, Their total budget this year is $3,000 more than last year.
Therefore , their last year total budget = ( Total budget this year ) - $3000
= $43,000 - $3000
= $40,000
Hence, their total budget last year was $40,000.

Hope this helps! Also can I have brainliest? It’s ok if no :) have a nice day.

1 question 60 points need help now
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  x = 0 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

                       \frac{x}{x - 2} + \frac{x - 1}{x + 1} = -1

1)

                      \frac{x(x + 1) + (x - 2)(x - 1)}{(x - 2)(x + 1)} = - 1

Expand

2)                  x² + x + x² - x - 2x + 2 = -1(x - 2)(x + 1)

Simplify

3)                  2x² -2x + 2 = -1(x² + x - 2x - 2)

4)                  2x² - 2x + 2 = -x² + x + 2

Equal to zero

5)                  2x² - 2x + 2 + x² - x - 2 = 0

6)                  3x² - 3x = 0

Factor

7)                  3x(x - 1) = 0

8)                  3x₁ = 0                   x₂ - 1 = 0

9)                    x₁ = 0/3                x₂ = 1

10)                  x₁ = 0                    x₂ = 1

A flat rectangular piece of aluminum has a perimeter of 60 inches. The
liq [111]

Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

If the length is 14 inches longer than the width, it can be represented by w + 14.

Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 60 as the perimeter and w + 14 as l, then solve for w:

p = 2l + 2w

60 = 2(w + 14) + 2w

60 = 2w + 28 + 2w

60 = 4w + 28

32 = 4w

8 = w

So, the width is 8 inches
