Answer:

x = - 4, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0 ( divide through by 3 )

x² + 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

If you received a 5% raise and your final paycheck was 100(which includes your 5% raise), how much was your original paycheck?

Schach [20]

so you were earning say "x", so "x" is the 100% of your paycheck.

but you're da bomb and so you got a raise of 5%, so the new amount of your paycheck is 100% + 5%, so is 105% really, and we happen to know that is $100.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \$&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 100&105\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{100}{x}=\cfrac{105}{100}\implies 10000=105x \\\\\\ \cfrac{10000}{105}=x\implies 95.238\approx x$

Helpppppp pl for 5 point

Answer:

$3^{-2} * 3^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 1/9 and 27 to get 27/9 which reduces to 3. When doing these equations, you add up the exponents. To get 3, you would have to have 3^1. The get this, the only equation that would work is 3^-2 x 3^3

-2+3 gets 1. So 3^1 which gets you 3. So this is the answer.
