A married couple had a combined annual income of $58,000. The wife made $2000 more than her husband. What was each of their incomes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Let the income of husband be X

The income of wife will be = X+2000

Combined income of couple will be= (X+2000) + X

                                                   = 2X+2000

It is given that combined income of couple is = 58000

Therefore  2X+2000= 58000

                 2X = 58000-2000

                 2X = 56000

                 X= 56000/2 = 28000

Therefore Income of husband is 28,000

and Income of wife = 28000+2000= 30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of there incomes are 2600 because of you divide the 2000 more that how much they make
