In 1945, the federal minimum wage was $0.40/h. In 2015, the federal minimum wage is $7.25/h. What is the percent increase?

1 answer:

3 0

You need to know the difference in change between .40 and 7.25, which is 6.85, then you divide the change in price by the original amount, so you do 6.85/.40, which is 17.125, then multiply by 100 to get percent and you get 1712.5% increase.

Factor completely, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. <br> 6х^2 - 3х - 30

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

3(x + 2)(2x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 3x - 30 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(2x² - x - 10) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 10 = - 20 and sum = - 1

The factors are + 4 and - 5

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 4x - 5x - 10 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term

= (x + 2)(2x - 5), thus

2x² - x - 10 = (x + 2)(2x - 5) and

6x² - 3x - 30

= 3(x + 2)(2x - 5) ← in factored form

Do you multiply area or add it

pogonyaev

It's the formula. Base times height.
For example: if 50 is the base and 10 is the height, just multiply them both.
50 x 10 = 500. And I don't think you add area-that's for finding the perimeter
