Answer:

absolute value basically represents the distance a number is from zero on the number line. If you can imagine, nobody would say "My car went negative thirty miles today," so you wouldn't use negative "distances" on the number line either. That's why absolute values are always positive.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$13564

Step-by-step explanation:

\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c}$If taxable&& \\$income&&\\$ is over&$but not over&$the tax is\\---&---&---\\$0 &7,825 &$10\%  of the amount over 0\\7,825 &31,850 &$782.50 plus $15\% $ of the amount over 7,825$ \end{array}\right|\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c}31,850 &77,100 &$4,386.25 plus 25\%  of the amount over 31,850 \\77,100 &160,850 &$15,698.75 plus 28\%  of the amount over 77,100\end{array}\right|

\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c}160,850 &349,700 &$39,148.75 plus 33\%  of the amount over 160,850 \\349,700 &$no limit&$101,469.25 plus 35\%  of the amount over 349,700\end{array}\right|

Mary’s taxable income= $68,562

From the table, If taxable income is over $31,850 but not over $77,100

The tax = $4386.25 + 25% of the amount over 31,850

Amount over $31,850=$68,562-$31,850

=$36,712

Therefore:

Mary's tax = $4386.25 + (25% of $36,712)

=$4386.25 +9,178

=$13564.25

=$13564 (to the nearest dollar)

What is the equation of the line that passes through 1,4 and 2,1
sashaice [31]

Answer:

y = -3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line

y = mx + c

y - intercept point y

m - slope of the line

x - intercept point x

c - intercept point of the line

Step 1: find the slope

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Given two points

( 1 , 4) ( 2 , 1)

x1 = 1

y1 = 4

x2 = 2

y2 = 1

insert the values

m = 1 - 4 / 2 - 1

m = -3/1

m = -3

y = -3x + c

Step 2: substitute any of the two points given into the equation of a line

y = -3x + c

( 1 ,4)

x = 1

y = 4

4 = -3(1) + c

4 = -3 + c

4 + 3 = c

c = 7

Step 3: sub c into the equation

y = -3x + 7

The equation of the line is

y = -3x + 7

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

  50 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Before drying, the cranberries have ...

  (100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb

of "meat."

After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...

  1 lb = 2%·x

  x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb

The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.

X=<br> Length=<br> Width=<br> WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST + 5 star
babymother [125]

Answer:

x = 20

Length = 20ft

Width = 12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 240

x^2 - 8x = 240

x^2 - 8x - 240 = 0

x^2 - 20x + 12x - 240 = 0

x(x-20) + 12(x-20) = 0

(x+12)(x-20) = 0

x = 20

x = -12 (which we discard since x is a length)

So the dimensions are 20ft and 20-8 = 12ft
