This is the concept of algebra. The value of x three times less than the value of 45-10x will be as follows;
The value of x three times is:
3x
subtracting 45-10x we get:
3x-(45-10x)
3x+10x-45
13x-45
the answer is:
13x-45
Based on the maximum taxable amount for social security in 2009, and the social security tax rate, the social security tax that Larry paid was $7,347.
<h3>How much did Larry pay in social security taxes?</h3>
The total amount paid by Larry as Social security tax can be found as;
= Maximum amount allowable for social security tax x Social security tax rate
The social security tax rate was 6.2% not 62.2%.
The social security tax was therefore:
= 118,500 x 6.2%
= $7,347

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To write fractions with a common denominator, you will most likely need to scale some numbers up! I will explain how.
Let's try it with the fractions
2
3
and
3
12
12 is larger than 3, so we will have to multiply the 3 by some number to equal 12. (We are really finding the Least Common Multiple of the two denominators!) To do this, you have to multiply the 3 by 4, because 3x4=12. But now the numerator doesn't match the denominator. When you scale the denominator up, you have to scale the numerator up too! So the 2 must be multiplied by 4 also.
Now you have the following:
8
12
and
3
12
These fractions now have common denominators! Now they're all set for adding or subtracting fractions.
Try another:
2
6
and
3
5
: The least common multiple of 6 and 5 is 30. (the product of the denominators)
Transform each fraction by multiplying by "1":
2
6
⋅
5
5
=
10
30
and
3
5
⋅
6
6
=
18
30
One last problem:
4
9
and
7
6
What is the least common multiple of 9 and 6? Could you use 54? Absolutely, but it is not the LEAST number that you could use. How about 18? YES!
4
9
⋅
2
2
=
8
18
and
7
6
⋅
3
3
=
21
18

Hope this helped!
So you are going to want to cross multiply getting 18x=360 then from there you divide gettin x=20
