Answer:

Uncle's earnings is $2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent his uncle's earnings with x

$600 less than twice what your uncle earns is represented as:

[tex]2x - 600[/tex]

Since, his aunt's earnings is $4200.

We have:

[tex]2x - 600 = 4200[/tex]

Add 600 to both sides

[tex]2x - 600 + 600= 4200 + 600[/tex]

[tex]2x = 4800[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 4800/2[/tex]

[tex]x = 2400[/tex]

Hence, His uncle's earnings is $2400
