FICA or Federal Insurance Contributions Act is composed of social security tax and medicare tax. Hence, we need to add these taxes to get the FICA tax.Social Security Tax is = 6.2%Medicare Tax is = 1.45%
Social Security Tax = 36,038*.062 = 2,234.356 Medicare Tax = 36,038*.0145 = 522.552
2,234.356 + 522.552 = 2,756.907 or 2,756.91
Therefore, Elias paid B.) 2,756.91 as FICA tax for the year.
12 oz for 2.68 = .22 per unit
16 oz for 2.49 = .16 per unit
the 16 oz for 2.49 is your better deal
I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,
One possible answer is 
Another possible answer is 
There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)
So in the first example above, we would have
In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.
Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)
[Given]
{ x + y = 6
{ x = y + 4
[Plug-in our x value & solve]
[Given] x + y = 6
[ Plug-in] (y + 4) + y = 6
[Distribute] y + 4 + y = 6
[Combine like terms] 2y + 4 = 6
[Subtract 4 from both sides] 2y = 2
[Divide both sides by 2] y = 1
[Answer]
Third option - (5, 1)
-> You do not need to solve for x since this is the only option that has y = 1, but to solve for x we would do y + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5, so this answer fully checks correctly
Have a nice day!
