Answer:
Rate = 1.125
New Value = 312,750
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 1/8 = 0.125
1+0.125=1.125
1.125 x Old value = New Value
B.
1.125 x 278,000 = New Value
312,750
Answer:
-5y + 6 = -9
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 6 from both sides
-5y + 6 - 6 = -9 - 6
simplify
-5y = -15
divide both sides by -5
(-5y)/5 = (-15)/5
simplify
y = 3
The equation with (x) in dogs and (y) in dollars is 
First, you must set up your equation.

Then, you must add like terms to simplify the equation

*Hint: Before you try to factor anything, you try to see if they have a common factor.
Since -3 is a common factor, everything is divided by -3.
-6x^4y^5 - 15x^3y^2 + 9x^2y^3
-3(2x^4y^5 + 5x^3y^2 - 3x^2y^3)
Since you can still divide by x^2y^2, you do so.
-3x^2y^2 (2x^2y^3 + 5x - 3y)
