Part A)
Multiply the amount he earned by 8.5%
8.5% written as a decimal is 0.085.
75,000 x 0.085 = $6,375
Part B)
Subtract the amount of tax from his earnings:
75,000 - 6,375 = $68,625
Let's solve the equation:
9x+27 = 9(x+2)+9 ← Distribute 9 to the x and 2
9x+27 = 9x+18+9 ← Combine like terms
9x+27 = 9x + 27 ← Subtract 27 from both sides
9x = 9x
Infinitely many solutions would be correct because no matter what x is, it will always equal each other the both sides of the equation because it is 9 times x on both sides.
To convert the euros into dollars simply multiply 75x1.29.
