Answer:
(3x - 1)(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 factors into 3x and x.
-1 factors into -1 and 1.
Now we try different positions of 3x, x, -1, and 1 until we find the correct factorization.
Try: (3x - 1)(x + 1)
When you multiply the two factors together, the middle term will be 3x - x = 2x
Since 2x is the original middle term, this is the correct factorization.
Answer: (3x - 1)(x + 1)
Answer: Reagan's pay was increased by 62%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets find the difference between the two pays:
$347,247 - $214,350 = $132,897
Let 214350 = 100%
Dividing 132,897 by 214350 to find the percent increase

Therefore, Reagan's pay was increased by 62%
Answer:
3.27
Step-by-step explanation:
2.15x= -5.76+12.8
2.15x=7.09
x=7.09/2.15
x=3.27
