The U. S.-based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build 150,000 motorcycles this year, up from 131,000 last year. Find the percent of increase in production
The percent of increase is 1%.
(Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.)

Step-by-step explanation: so the question is what is the increase. Increase of what? 131,000. So you are going to find the difference between 150,000 and 131,000 and then find what percent that number is out of 131,000. That would be the increase.

answer is:

1.75 pounds

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
