Consider, pls, this option:
1) let start price is 'x' and the 1-t increasing is 'y';
2) after the 1-t increasing new1_price is x(y+1);
3) after the 2-d increasing new2_price is 1.25x(y+1);
4) from another side, new2_price is '2x';
5) according to five items it is possible to make up an equation: 1.25x(y+1)=2x; 
1.25(y+1)=2, y=8/5 -1=3/5=0.6.
0.6 means 60%.
Answer: 60%.

A boat traveled 150 miles downstream (with the current) and back (against the current). The trip downstream took 10 hours. The t
Margarita [4]

Answer:

b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it's downstream and upstream speed be d and u respectively

also speed of the boat be b and speed of stream be c.

as per question d = 150/10= 15 miles/hr

and, u= 150/30= 5 miles/hr

also we know d= b+c = 15.....i and u = b-c= 5....ii

solving i and ii we get b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

4x − 1 < 11 solve for x
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

\huge \boxed{x < 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 1 < 11

Add 1 on both sides.

4x - 1 + 1 < 11 + 1

4x < 12

Divide both sides by 4.

(4x)/4 < 12/4

x < 3

2x^3 + 3x^2 -11x -6 divided by x - 2
Gnesinka [82]

p(x)= x-2

g(x)= 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 11x - 6

first we have to find the zero of the polynomial of x-2

p(x)= x-2 = 0

         x=2

therefore,

p(x)= 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 11x - 6

p(2)= 2*2^3 + 3*2^2 - 11*2 - 6

      = 2*8 + 3*4 - 11*2 - 6

      = 16 + 12 - 22 - 6

      = 28-28

     = 0

Hope it helped u, ^_^.
