Answer: $3,581
Step-by-step explanation:
As she plans to save from her net income, we have to find the net income first:
= Net income - Federal taxes - Social and Medicare taxes
= 33,000 - (33,000 * 20%) - (33,000 * 7.65%)
= $23,875.50
The savings will be:
= Net income * Savings percentage
= 23,875.50 * 15%
= $3,581.325
= $3,581
Distribute on both sides
2x - 8 = 6x + 12
Move x to one side
-20 = 4x
Divide by 4
-5 = x
For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.
