107 = 7 -2 (7b - 1)
First, distribute -2 to all terms within the parenthesis
-2(7b - 1) = -14b + 2
107 = 7 -14b + 2
Combine like terms
107 = -14b (+7 + 2)
107 = -14b + 9
Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
Subtract 9 from both sides
107 (-9) = -14b + 9 (-9)
107 - 9 = -14b
98 = -14b
Isolate the b. Divide -14 from both sides
(98)/-14 = (-14b)/-14
98/-14 = b
b = −7
-7 is your answer

Answer with explanation:</h2>
As per given , we have

Since , alternative hypothesis is right tailed, so the test is a right tailed test.
n= 1987
Proportion of adults believe that rudeness is a worsening problem : 
Test statistic : 

(since , the normal curve takes values of z from -7 to 7, so we use critical value to draw conclusion.)
The critical value for a significance level of 0.005= 1.645
Since , absolute test statistic value (12.09) is greater than the critical value (1.645), it means there is statistical significance and so we reject the null hypothesis.
First one (on the left) is 2) associative property because we are regrouping terms or re-associating them based on the parenthesis. Think of the parenthesis like a tent or a house that separates off the stuff outside. First 27 and 36 are grouped, then we move the parenthesis so that 52 and 27 are grouped now.
Second one (on the right) is 1) commutative. The commutative multiplication property says we can multiply two numbers in any order. For example, 4*9 = 36 and 9*4 = 36. The 4 and 9 swap places. In this problem, the 3 and 4x swap places. The use of parenthesis isn't necessary, though it is sometimes used to imply multiplication.
90 + 3 + 4 = 97
Your answer is 97.
Well it would just be 54 since you just need to move the decimal over by 1.
So 5.4x10= 54
