Colin gets £x wages each week. After he pays his tax of £T then, he pays his rent of £250. he then shares what's left between himself and his wife. how much do they both get?

(£x - £T - £250) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin's total wages = £x

Tax = £T

Rent = £250

Total amount remaining = Total wages - tax - rent

= £x - £T - £250

he then shares what's left between himself and his wife. how much do they both get?

He and his wife = 2 people

Each person gets = Total amount remaining / number of people

= (£x - £T - £250) / 2

Or

= 1/2 (£x - £T - £250)

both equations and proportions are better.

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.
