According to reliable sources online, the FICA rate last 2010 amounted to 6.2%. The amount deducted to Eleanor's pay monthly is calculated by multiplying the monthly pay and the rate. That is,
FICA (monthly) = ($2,478.15)(0.062)
= $153.636
Multiplying that amount by 12 (since there are 12 months in a year) is equal to $1843.632. Thus, $1843.632 was deducted from Eleanor's pay last 2010 for FICA.
A = P(1 + rt)
solve for t
t = ((A/P)-1)/r = ((10000/8000)-1)/0.06 = 4.167 years
Solve for x over the real numbers:2 x^2 - 3 x - 2 = x + 4
Subtract x + 4 from both sides:2 x^2 - 4 x - 6 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:2 (x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
Divide both sides by 2:(x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
Split into two equations:x - 3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:x = 3 or x + 1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:Answer: x = 3 or x = -1
Answer:
C.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is positive this time, so right away you can eliminate A and B.
If y=2x, the graph would be much steeper so the answer is C.) you can also check by graphing it in desmos.
The answer to your problem is x=3
