Explanation:

Calculation for How much can Brian and Clara claim as foreign tax credit

Using this formula

Foreign tax credit=(Foreign income/Total income)×U.S. tax liability

Let plug in the formula

Foreign tax credit=($16,000/$105,000) x $22,750

Foreign tax credit=0.15238095×$22,750

Foreign tax credit= $3,467

Therefore the amount that Brian and Clara can claim as foreign tax credit will be $3,467

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
