Answer:
x > or equal to 9.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Don't let the inequality intimidate you. Treat the > or equal sign like it is an equal sign.
Any thing you do on the right you must do on the left.
move 3 to other side
combine like terms
15x > or equal to 145.5
Divide both sides by 15
x > or equal to 9.7
You would add $8.25 + $5.50, which equals $13.75. Then you would divide that number by the number of employees currently working at the fast food restaurant; $13.75 / 2 = $6.875. So, $6.88 would be the new mean salary of the employees.
Since it is the midpoint we can say:
12x - 1 = 8x +11
All we have do to is get all the x's alone on one side
12x - 1 = 8x + 11
12x = 8x + 12 (add both sides by 1)
4x = 12 (subtract both sides by 8x)
x = 3 (divide both sides to get what x is)
Answer:
2(3x+2) is your answer because you factor out 2. The number 2 is a factor of both 6 and 4 (2*3=6 and 2*2=4).
the difference from 240 to 120 is 50%
