It turns out that 5% of 400 is 20.
(1/20)*400=20.
So Ian was being paid £400 a week before he was given a pay rise.
It should be (2x-3)x(3x+2)
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:

we start simplifying by removing the parenthesis
Multiply the exponents inside the the parenthesis
3^4 * 2^4

Now we apply exponential property
a^m * a^n = a^ (m+n)
3^4 * 3^-3 = 3^ (4-3) = 3^1
3 or 3^1 are same

3^1 at the top and bottom so we cancel it out
\frac{2^4}{2^3}
we apply log property . a^m / a^n = a^m-n
Now subtract the exponents
2^(4-3) = 2^1 = 2
