Loretta’s income last year was $81,300. she made $56,800 at her salaried job and had additional passive income. if loretta earned the same amount of passive income each month for the entire year, approximately how much per month was it?
a.
$2,040
b.
$2,125
c.
$4,730
d.
$6,775

Option a.  $2,040

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore

approximately $2,400 per month

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
