First multiply each term by 24(the common denominator found by 8×3) to remove the fractions and make things easier.
This will give you,
Then just continue to simplify and isolate the variable.
When finding zeros, the function has to equal zero. In other words, G(x) = 0.
For three multiplied parts to equal to zero, at least one has to be zero. -2 ≠ 0, but (x+1) or (x+7) can.
So you can equate each of those to zero and find out what the zeros are.
x+1=0
x=-1
x+7=0
x=-7
Thus the answer
x = -1 or -7
That would be net income (amount made after taxes have been deducted) and hourly wage (amount made per hr at work)
( 2a2 - 2b - 1 ) Is the answer when simplifying the expression.
