Answer:

118°

Step-by-step explanation:

When two parallel lines are cut by a tranversal, then the exterior angles are supplimentary and the corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore the angle above (15x - 17)° is also (5x + 17)° and the angle below (5x + 17)° is also (15x - 17)°.

Angles on a straight line adds up to 180°. So to know the measure of the larger angle we must both equations and equal it to 180° to find x in order to know the larger angle.

(5x + 17) + (15x - 17) = 180

5x + 15x + 17 - 17 = 180

20x = 180

20x/20 = 180/20

x = 9°

Nkw let's substitute x = 9 into the equations

5x + 17 =

5(9) + 17 =

= 62°

15x - 17 =

15(9) - 17 =

= 118°

Both equations should add up to be 180°.

Therefore the measure of the largest angle is 118°.

xxMikexx [17]
You need to find the amount subject to withholding, subtracting from the weekly salary the amount for one withholding allowance for weekly salaries, which is 77.90$:

830 - 77.90 = 752.1 $.

Then, look in the Fed Tax tables (
http://www.opers.ok.gov/Websites/opers/images/pdfs/2016-Fed-Tax-Tables.pdf ) for a married person with a weekly payroll.

You previously found an amount of  752.1 which is greater than 521 but less than 1613$: therefore the income tax to withhold is 35.70$ + 15% of excess over $521.

Therefore, calculate the income tax due: 35.70 + (752.1 - 521) × 15 ÷ 100 = 70.37$

The total amount of income tax that will be withheld is 70.37$
