Begin by factoring 2 out of 2x^2 - 2x - 12 equals 0:
2(x^2 - x - 6) = 0
2(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0. 2 is never zero, but x-3 and x+2 can each be set = to 0:
This results in x = 3 and x = -2. The equation is true for these two x-values.
English please ? I only speak English but I’m sure I can help.
The slope is -9/7. I don’t have an explanation because I used an online calculator but that’s the answer in case you don’t have to show work.
You do 2x20 which is basically 2x2 (4) add a zero and your answer is 40
The employee will need to figure out how many groups of 0.4 points they have beyond a score of 2.6. To do this subtract 3.4 and 2.6.
3.4 - 2.6 = 0.8
This is two groups of 0.4.
So, 0.5% + 1% + 1%= 2.5 % pay increase.
