<u>Answer:</u>
Helen's salary increased more.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that Clint's salary increased from $24000 to $36000 over a three-year period.
So the increase in Clint's salary will be = 36000 - 24000 = $12000
While Helen's salary increased from $29000 to $43, 500 over the same period of 3 years.
So the increase in Helen's salary will be = 43500 - 29000 = $14500
Therefore, in absolute terms, Helen's salary has increased more.
4x - (9 - 3x) = 8x - 1
4x - (9) - -(3x) = 8x - 1
4x - 9 + 3x = 8x - 1
7x - 9 = 8x - 1 (-8x from each side)
-x - 9 = -1 (+9 to each)
-x = 8 (divide -1 from each side)
x = -8
Answer:
The product of w and 3 is greater than 15.
(w x 3)> 15
3w>15
Step-by-step explanation:
"Product" signifies multiplication. "of" means w is being multiplied by 3.
Answer:
C. (5x - 1)(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
In a factoring problem by hand, the common steps to solve would be the "AM" method, or (Add-Multiply). Simply stated, finding what adds to the x-coeficient and what multiplies to the constant. In this case, what adds to 39(x) and what multiplies to 8. Just reading that, we can see that there aren't any numbers that can do that, so we have to improvise. Set up the problem equal to something that it can factor into:
- <em>Multiply the 5 and -8</em> = -40: <em>this is what we will factor</em>
- <em>The factors with add to 39 are 40 and -1</em>.
- <em>Set up the problem:</em>

Now, we can fo the math:

8(5x - 1) + x(5x - 1)
<em>Factor (5x - 1) from this:</em>
(5x - 1)(x + 8)
And we have our answer.
