The sum of two numbers is 68. The larger number is 22 larger than the smaller number. What are the two numbers

x = 23 and y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 68

y = x + 22

substitute into your equation for x + y = 68

x + (x+22) = 68

combine like terms

2x + 22 = 68

2x = 46

x = 23

Now, use this to solve for y = x + 22

y = 23 + 22

y = 45

$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
