Kevin and Ethan are employees for a company. Ethan is making a salary of $34,200. Ethan is earning a salary that is 28% lower than the salary of Kevin. What salary is Kevin earning?

$45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kevin's Salary=x

Ethan's Salary=$34,200.

Since Ethan is earning a salary that is 28% lower than the salary of Kevin.

Ethan is earning (100-24)%=76% of Kevin's Salary.

76% of Kevin's Salary=$34,200.

0.76x=34200

Divide both sides by 0.76

x=45000

Kevin's Salary is $45,000.

move it to the other side

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
