Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the data Mia recorded, 6 out of 12 people had black hair, so if the next 16 people take their seats, 8 of them should have black hair. 6 out of 12 is half, and 8 is half of 16.
because you distribute the 7 to the x and the 8 first then you bring that down which becomes 7x+56 then you to the addition so you do 56+-2 which would give you 54.
