The answer to the questions is the second one
James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
Let b represent the rate of pay increase and a represent the initial pay.
Let us assume that he had received 128000 after the 8 months. hence:
128000 = ab⁸ (1)
Also in the 10th month, he had received 512000, hence:
512000 = ab¹⁰ (2)
From the both equations:
a = 500, b = 2
rate of increase = 200% - 100% = 100%
James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.

Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 
= 
← factor denominator
- = 
[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]
Multiply through by x(x + 1)
4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4
4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x =
However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then
solution is x =
Calculate both of those per hour:
2/3 crate / hour
1.25 crates / 2 hours = 5/8 crates / hour
2/3 + 5/8 = 16/24 + 15/24 = 31/24 per hour =
124 / 24 crates in 4 hours = 5 (4/24) crates =
5 (1/6) crates per 4 hours
