In the addition/subtraction method, the two equations in the system are
added or subtracted to create a new equation with only one variable. In
order for the new equation to have only one variable, the other variable
must cancel out. In other words, we must first perform operations on
each equation until one term has an equal and opposite coefficient as
the corresponding term in the other equation.
Answer:
-"My step-dad's punch packs a wallop!"
-"The stars shining in the night sky were luminous."

The state withholding is 21% of the Federal withholding.
Since the state withholding was $122.25, the state withholding should be 0.21 x $122.25 = $25.67
Since $30.56 was withheld for state tax, then she must be thinking that the state withholding is too high, hence too much is being withheld.
Thus, option c is the correct answer.
8x - 15 = 3x
+15 +15
8x = 3x + 15
-3x
5x = 15
/5 /5
x = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time Ajay and Bala took to meet be t, speed of Ajay be a and speed of Bala be b
<u>Until they met, the distance they made:</u>
Now, the rest of the distance took Ajay 16 min and Bala 9 min.
<u>We can compare the distances as:</u>
<u>From the first equation we have:</u>
<u>From the second equation we have:</u>
<u>Comparing:</u>
- t/16= 9/t
- t² = 9*16
- t² = 144
- t = √144
- t = 12 min
<u>The meting time is:</u>
- 9:00 am + 12 min = 9:12 am
