Corbin's car payment is $289.This is $37 less than 1/3 of his monthly income.What is corbin's monthly income?
Answered by DrBob222
Let x = Corbin's monthly income.
289+37 = (1/3)*x
Solve for x.
Answered by Alyssa
are you shure the x doesnt go with the 37!
Answered by Ms. Sue
DrBob is right.

289 + 37 = 326 = 1/3 of his monthly income.

326 * 3 = 978 = his monthly income

1/3 0f 978 = 326
326 - 37 = 289

13=3a-14 the answer is a=1.4
Answered by Ms. Sue
Nope. The answer is not 1.4

13=3a-14
13 + 14 = 3a - 14 + 14
27 = 3a
?? = a
