Answer:

x=14, x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First factor the equation. Which numbers multiplies to 14 and adds up to -15? It's -14 and -1 so the equation is factored to (x-14)(x-1). I assume that you know how to do this.

Then set the values inside the parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x.

Item 6 Your friend earns $10.50 per hour. This is 125% of her hourly wage last year. How much did your friend earn per hour last

tester [92]

Answer:

$8.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount last year using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other.

$\frac{125}{100}=\frac{10.50}{y}$

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

125(y)=100(10.50)

125y=1050

y=8.40

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, if the data gathered from these individuals results in being 68% of that population that does not buy anything then this would result in a valid claim by Best Buy.
