Two people earn $28,000. One earns $2,000 more than the other. How much is the smaller income
1 answer:
Answer: the smaller income is $13,000
Explanation:
1. Use the following equations to represent the income(s)
x+y=28,000, x=y+2000
2. Substitute the second equation into the first equation to get:
(y+2000)+y=28,000
3. Simplify the equation above to get:
y=13,000
**Optional: To find the other income, substitute y=13,000 into x=y+2000
This will give you x=15,000
13,000 is smaller so that is the answer.

Answer:
P = 48.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2ℓ + 2w

P = 16.6 + 31.6
P = 48.2 ft
