An alligator is 6 inches long at birth and grows 8 inches per year. Write an equation that represents the length y (in feet) of an alligator that is x years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Alligator is 6 inches long at the time of birth

It grows 8 inches per year

If y is the length of alligator at any year

so at time of birth

after an year

after 2 years

so we can write

where x=no of years passed

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
