Answer:
pretty sure it's B, its just really hard to see
Step-by-step explanation:
you can make it into an improper fraction if you want but there is no need for this problem
steps
1) 10 3/4- 5 1/4
10-5=5
3/4-1/4=2/4 or 1/2
answer:5 1/2 or 5 2/4
(it is better simplified)
The addition property of equality is the idea we can add some number to both sides of an equation. You must add the same number to both sides to keep things balanced.
It's asking "what number can we add to both sides of this equation so that we isolate x?"
Think of 20+x as x+20. We can rearrange terms since adding in any order doesn't matter (eg: 2+3 = 3+2 = 5)
So we really have this equation: x+20 = 25
We can add -20 to both sides to cancel out the +20 on the left side
x+20 = 25
x+20+(-20) = 25+(-20) ...... add -20 to both sides
x = 5
This is the exact same as subtracting 20 from both sides. So 5 will go where x is, meaning that 20+x = 20+5 = 25
It would cost $50.
20 / 2 = 10
10 x 5 = 50
Miss Blue's gross pay is 903.75 dollars.
=> the rate of the Social Security is 7.65%.
Now, let's solve for the amount that the employer should withhold from her salary.
=> 903.75 dollars * .0765 = 69.137 dollars will be deducted to her salary.
=> 903.75 dollars - 69.137 dollars = 834.61 dollars is the remaining of her salary.
