The value of the expression 4220 + 0.25(x -30,650)
\n" ); document.write( "Is the 2006 federal income tax for a single taxpayer with
\n" ); document.write( "Taxable income of x dollars, where x is over $30,650 but
\n" ); document.write( "Not over $74,200. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) Simplify the expression.
\n" ); document.write( "4220 + 0.25(x -30,650)
\n" ); document.write( "= 4220 + (x/4) - 7662.5
\n" ); document.write( "= (x/4) - 3442.50
