Megan is checking her tax bill for the last year. The tax rates were as follows:
No tax on the first £11000 of earnings
Earnings in excess of £11000 and up to £43,000 taxed at a rate of 20 percent.
Earnings in excess of £43000 and up to £150000 taxed at a rate of 45 percent
Last year Megan earned £158900 before tax.
How much did she pay?

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

q1 a person or thing situated away or detached from the main body or system. a cluster is a a mash of many things.

q2 do

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
