b. $25.39
c. $28.39
d. $73.85

The  Social Security tax deducted from  gross pay  will be $28.39 .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Chaya’s gross pay is $457.88.

The amount of social security deducted is 6.2% or gross pay.

6.2% is written in the decimal form.

= 0.062

Social Security tax = 0.062 × Gross pay amount

Putting the values in the above

                               = 0.062 × 457.88

                               = $ 28.39 (Approx)

Therefore the  Social Security tax deducted from  gross pay  will be $28.39 .

Option (C) is correct .

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
