Answer:
(x + 3)(3x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² + 5x - 12
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 = 3 × - 12 = - 36 and sum = + 5
The factors are + 9 and - 4
Use these factors to split the x- term
3x² + 9x - 4x - 12 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 3x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term
= (x + 3)(3x - 4)
Thus
3x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 3)(3x - 4) ← in factored form
Multiply 200 by .15, since 15% is .15 as a decimal. 200 x .15 = 30. This means that his health care rate will increase by $30 next year.
The answer is 3 (x+b) (x-2)
Yw! :)
Leave the whole number alone for now. Divide 41 by 80 and you get 0.5125
So your answer is 9.5125
