Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following
<span>gross income = $117,151
$2,713 = interest on mortgage
$2,791 = business losses
$1,346 = alimony,
$2,086 = property taxes
$2,376 = contributions to charity
$1,091 for contributions to retirement fund.
</span><span> standard deduction for a single filer = $5,700
exemptions = $3,650 </span>each worth
Adding all the deductions and subtracting it to the gross amount will give us
<span>b. $9,350</span>
1. 4n - 6n - 6 > 12
-2n > 18
n < -9.
2. 5 > 5(12-a)
5 > 60 - 5a
5a > 55
a > 11
3. 2s + 20 < 119 - 9s
11s < 99
x < 11
