By pulling out the common factors for each pair of terms, we can rewrite the original polynomial like this:
3x(2x + 1) + 10(2x + 1)
These two terms now have a common factor of (2x + 1). Seems like we should be able to do something with that information, don't you think? In fact, we can pull out this common factor and rewrite the polynomial again:
The value of x would be 6.5 because if you add 1 to 6.5 you get 7.5 and 7.5 multiplied by 4 is 30
SOLUTION:
We are to find the rate of inflation in the given question;
The formula to be used is;
Inflation rate =


CONCLUSION
The inflation rate of CPI that increased from 208 to 221 to the nearest tenth of a percentage is 6.3%.
