Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...
x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides
x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9
x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form
(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides
x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides
x=-3±√1
x=-3±1
x=-4 and -2
Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:
(x+2)(x+4)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find what percentage a certain value is of another value, simply divide the first value by the second, respectively.
We want to find want percentage that 7,562.5 is of 275,000. Therefore, we will divide 7,562.5 by 275,000 to obtain a decimal:

To convert from a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100:

6
y= the t intercept which is 1
