Answer
Social security tax amount = $3348
Medicare tax amount = $743
Step by step explanation
The amount earned by Marcus = $54000
Social security tax = 6.2% = 6.2/100 = 0.062
Social security tax amount = 54000*0.062
Social security tax amount = $3348
Medicare tax = 1.45% = 1.45/100 = 0.0145
Medicare tax amount = 54000*0.0145
Medicare tax amount = $743

Solve for x (isolate/get x by itself)
Add 5 on both sides

Subtract 1/4x on both sides

Make the denominators the same of the fractions in order to combine them. Multiply 2 to the top and bottom of 1/4x

Multiply 8 on both sides

-16 = x
