Use the definition of conditional probability:

P(\text{sports}\mid\text{senior})=\dfrac{P(\text{sports AND senior})}{P(\text{senior})}

We know that 0.10 of students belong to both categories, and that 0.25 of students are seniors, so

P(\text{sports}\mid\text{senior})=\dfrac{0.10}{0.25}=0.40

B. Add -12x to both sides. Then divide all terms by -2. The positive 12 on the right side will be a -6 and the -42 will be a positive 21. The inequality sign is always switched whenever the equation is divided by a negative number.
