c.
annual tax would increase by $3,348.00.
d.
annual tax would increase by $4,368.60.

 Option "A" is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Annual salary = $54000

Tax of Social Security = 1.89%

Since there is only one possible solution to a diminishing Social Security payroll is to increase the Social Security tax by 1.89%.

Annual tax would increase by

Hence, Option "A" is correct.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
