<span>His earned income level are as follows.
The base amount is $14,138.50
</span><span><span>The amount over $62,450 = $82,500 - $62,450 =$20,050
The amount of tax on the third $20,050 is given by 31% of $20,050 = 0.31 x $20,050 = $6,215.5</span>
(i.e. Multiply line 3 by 31% = $6,215.5)
Total tax = $ 14,138.50 + $6,215.50 = $20,354
(i.e. Add lines 2 and 4 = $</span>20,354)
You can use the formula to solve for the y-values in the table. Insert the x-value into the equation: y = 2x - 2
(ex. y = 2(1)-2)
So..
x | y
0 | -2
1 | 0
3 | 4
5 | 8
8 | 14
10 | 18
[First time answering on Brainly so I accidentally commented the answer instead. Don’t know how to delete the comment but anyways, I hope my response helped you!]
To simplify this, we first need to distribute the 2 into the parenthesis.
= 2 * x + 2 * 3 - 4
Now, we can simplify:
= 2x + 6 - 4
= 2x + 2
Hope this helps!
