Answer:

  • 1440

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The equations to reflect the given:</u>

  • x + y = 2640
  • x = y + 20% ⇒ x = 1.2y

<u>Substitute the value of x into first equation and solve for y:</u>

  • 1.2y + y = 2640
  • 2.2y = 2640
  • y = 2640/2.2
  • y = 1200

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = 2640 - 1200 = 1440

Answer:

I do not understand she question do you mean the sum of their income is 2640

if so, then the answer is 440 to be x income

Step-by-step explanation:

x income = 20% or 1/5 of y income

y income = 5 of x income

we know that the sum of their income = 2640

which means that

x + y = 2640 =

1/5y + y = 2640

6y/5 = 2640

cross multiply to give us

6y = 5(2640)

6y = 13200

divide through by 6 to give us,

6y/6 = 13200/6

y = 2200

since we know that x income is 20% y income,

therefore, x income =

20/100 * 2200

= 440

therefore,

x income = 440

y income = 2200

Which shows a graph of a linear equation in standard form Ax + By = C, where A = 0, B is positive, and C is negative? A coordina
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

A coordinate plane with a horizontal line passing through (negative 4, negative 3), (0, negative 3) and (4, negative 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax + By = C, where A = 0, B is positive, and C is negative

By= C or y= C/B which is negative

Since A is zero and C is negative, the line is parallel to x- axis and has negative value for y, so it is a horizontal line below zero

---------------

A coordinate plane with a vertical line passing through (1, negative 4), (1, 0) and (1, 4).

  • no, the line is horizontal

A coordinate plane with a vertical line passing through (negative 2, negative 4), (negative 2, 0) and (negative 2, 4).

  • no, the line is horizontal

A coordinate plane with a horizontal line passing through (negative 4, 4), (0, 4) and (negative 4, 4).

  • no, the y-values should be negative

A coordinate plane with a horizontal line passing through (negative 4, negative 3), (0, negative 3) and (4, negative 3).

  • yes, this is horizontal line below zero
