After the bank cashed a check maureen wrote for $60, her balance was -$14.the equation b+(-60)=-14 can be used to represent this situation, where b is maureen’s balance, in dollars, before the check was cashed. maureen attempted to solve the equation using the steps below. b+(-60)=-14 -60 -60 b =-74 what error, if any, did maureen make? maureen’s work is correct, and her original balance was -$74. maureen should have added 60 to both sides. maureen should have added 14 to both sides. maureen made a computational error when she subtracted -14-60

we are given

Since, we have to solve for b

so, we will isolate b ony one side

so, we will add 60 on both sides

so,

Maureen should have added 60 to both sides.

Maureen should have added 60 to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

In solving this equation, Maureen wants to cancel the -60 in order to get the variable, b, isolated.

To cancel a -60, we would add 60; this is because positive and negative numbers are opposites, and we use opposites to cancel.

Therefore she should have added 60 to each side.

answer:

a=9

$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
