Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation:

3(x + 2) = 2(x + 5)

Use distributive property

3 · x = 3x

3 · 2 = 6

Your equation should look like this now:

3x + 6 = 2(x + 5)

Use distributive property for the other side

2 · x = 2x

2 · 5 = 10

Your equation:

3x + 6 = 2x + 10

Subtract 6 from both sides

3x = 2x + 4

Subtract 2x from both sides

1x = 4

Divide both sides by 1

x = 4

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) = 2(x+5)

Distribute

3x+6 = 2x+10

Subtract 2x from each side

3x-2x+6 = 2x-2x+10

x +6 = 10

Subtract 6 from each side

x+6-6 = 10-6

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

personally this is how i would do this question but there are other ways.

i would start off by seeing how many sundays there are in the month (which is 5) then the number of other days which is 25. i'd then multiply 5 by 510 which is 2550. add that to 240 times 25 (which is 6000) and all of that together is 8550. divide that by the number of the days in the month (30) and then you'll get the daily avergae for the month

Write the formula for calculating taxable income.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

taxable income = adjusted income - (deductions + Allowances/Exemptions)

Step-by-step explanation:

Taxable income is the type of income on which a person has to pay tax to the government. Taxable Income is calculated by subtracting the deductions and exemptions from the adjustable income.

With deductions you can either have itemized deductions or standard deductions.

Standard deduction consist of deductions like if a couple is married then they will have the deductions and if there are dependents of a person then he will have a standard deduction.

Itemized deductions consist of mortgages values, medical expenses, charity works etc.

This will help us to find the value of our taxable income
