19.607...% of her gross pay is being taken out in taxes.

Explanation

Susie paid $579 in taxes on gross income of $2953

For finding the percentage of tax, first we need to divide the amount of tax paid by the total gross income and then multiply the result by 100%

So, percentage of tax % = 19.607....%

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
