so to find 15% of 54,237, we use this equation: (x/54237) = (15/100) where x is the amount of income tax.
cross multiply: 100x = 813555
divide each side by 100 to isolate x: 8135.55
the truck driver will pay $8135.55
The first one is 5
Second 3
Third -7
Fourth is 9
And fifth is 10
Try proportions. It can help since it's asking for the "cost". Hope this helps! :)
X^4+ 3x^3+4x^2-8 | x+2 = x^3+x^2+2x-4
-x^4-2x^3
-----------------------
x^3+4x^2-8
-x^3-2x^2
-------------------------
2x^2-8
-2x^2-4x
--------------
-4x-8
4x+8
----------------------------
/ /
is a factor because (x+2)(x^3+x^2+2x-4)=x^4+3x^3+4x^2-8
