Answer:

$x=\frac{30}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $\frac{2}{3}x=-\frac{1}{2}x+5$ . We are asked to solve our given equation.

First of all, we will add $\frac{1}{2}x$ on both sides of equation to separate x variable on one side of equation.

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}x=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}x+5$

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}x=5$

Now, we will make a common denominator.

$\frac{2*2}{3*2}x+\frac{1*3}{2*3}x=5$

$\frac{4}{6}x+\frac{3}{6}x=5$

Add numerators:

$\frac{4+3}{6}x=5$

$\frac{7}{6}x=5$

Upon multiply both sides of our equation by $\frac{6}{7}$ , we will get:

$\frac{6}{7}*\frac{7}{6}x=5*\frac{6}{7}$

$x=\frac{5*6}{7}$

$x=\frac{30}{7}$

Therefore, the solution for our given equation is $x=\frac{30}{7}$ .

Social security rate is 6.2%

Social Security Liability = 6.2% x $2595.83 = $160.94 semimonthly payments

Step 3 Find the social security liability using social security rate and annual income

Deduction amount for Social security on monthly basis = $160.94 *2 =

$321.88 per month

<u>2. Medicare</u>

Here Gross income = $62,300

Step 1 Find semiannual income

Semiannual Gross income = $62,300 / 24 = $2595.83

Step 2 Find the social security liability using Medicare rate and annual income

Medicare rate is 1.45%

Medicare Liability = 1.45% x $2595.83 = $37.64 semimonthly payments

Step 3 Find the social security liability using Medicare rate and annual income

Deduction amount for Social security on monthly basis = $160.94 *2

= $75.28 per month
