Part D Isabel’s employer has recently announced that employees may convert traditional 401(k) plans to Roth 401(k) plans if they so desire. Isabel decides to investigate the option. She believes her tax bracket won’t change from her working years into her retirement. In addition, she’d like to have more take-home pay now.

Should Isabel keep the traditional 401(k) plan or switch to a Roth 401k plan? Use Isabel’s calculations and your knowledge about these plans to explain your recommendation.

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
