Answer:

1. D.income > expenses

2.The income is 16.52

3.  The income is .75 greater than expenses

B.income > expenses

4.A.Marley spent more than he earned.

C.Marley needs to be more careful with his expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We always want our income to be greater than our expenses.  That means we will be saving money.

2.  Subtract 6 from income.  Subtract 4.50 as expenses.  Subtract 2.50 as an expense.  Let x be the income.  The difference is 3.52

x-6 - 4.50 -2.50 = 3.52

Combine like terms

x -13=3.52

Add 13 to each side

x-13+13 = 3.52+13

x = 16.52

The income is 16.52

3.

Income is 15.50 and 4.75+5 = 25.25

Expenses are 24.50

The difference is income minus expenses

25.25-24.50 =.75

B.income > expenses

4.  A negative statement means income was less than expenses.  He spent more than he earned.  You should never spend more than you earn.  

A.Marley spent more than he earned.

C.Marley needs to be more careful with his expenses.
