Plug in 1/2 for a, and -3/7 for b

(1/2)/(-3/7)

To solve, flip the second fraction, and change the division into multiplication

(1/2) x (-7/3)

Multiply across

1 x -7 = -7

2 x 3 = 6

-7/6 is your answer

Find h(6) if h(x) = x2 - 2x - 5.

Alexus [3.1K]

To find h(6), we must plug in 6 into the function.

h(x) = x^2 - 2x - 5

h(6) = 6^2 - 2(6) - 5

= 36 - 12 - 5
= 36 - 17 = 19

Jada's sister works in a furniture store.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

1) $16.35

2) 75%

3) $245

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Jada earns = $15 per hour

9% increase = 15 * 9/100 = $1.35

Increased Jada's pay = 15+1.35 = $16.35

2) Markup = selling price - cost= $350 - 200= $150

Markup % = $\frac{sale price - cost }{cost}*100$ \

= $\frac{150}{200}*100$ = 75%

3) Jada's sister commission is 3.5% of $7000

= $\frac{3.5}{100}* 7000$

= $245
