10^0 = 1
10^1 = 10
10^2 = 100
100 + 10 + 1 = 111
State tax = 2% of $215 = 0.02 x $215 = $4.30
city tax = 1% of $215 = 0.01 x $215 = $2.15
retirement fund = 3% of $215 = 0.03 x $215 = $6.45
Total deductions = $15.16 + $29.33 + $4.30 + $2.15 + $6.45 = $57.39
Net income = $215 - $57.39 = $157.61
X/6.2=-2.1
multiply both sides by 6.2
x=-13.02
Simple...
you have:

and

Now, the first one is easy just divide it...

Now....

needs to be converted...
Multiply the whole number*denominator...
4*8=32
Now add the numerator....

Now use the original denominator...

Now divide...

Thus, your answer.
