Let's get the data out of the problem:
Nv = 18
Ov = 12
Now, we can apply in this equation that relates the new and the old values:
i = Nv / Ov
i = 18 / 12
i = 1.5
Now, we just consider what has passed from 1, and this is 0.5, converting to percentage it is:
p = 0.5 . 100
p = 50%
The increase was 50%.
Hope it helps.
Answer:
HI! I think the answer is 4.
There are no zeroes for an expression, only for equations.
Assuming equation to be
<span>−7x^2 − 91x − 280=0
-7(x^2+13x+40)=0
-7(x+8)(x+5)=0
by the zero product properties,
x+8=0 => x=-8
or
x+5=0 => x=-5</span>
