Brianna's thinking is incorrect.
Expessions A, and C. are equivalent.
For C, you add 5x and x together (because they have the same variable) to get 6x - 4.
For A, you subtract 9x and 3x (because they have the same variable) to get 6x- 4.

Brianna is correct about the situation when x=0. But you can't say that
expressions are really equivalent unless they have the same value for 
EVERY 'x', no matter what it is.

Expressions 'A' and 'C' will do that. But Expression 'B' won't, unless x=0.

In a programming team of 20 persons, 1/4 are women and 3/4 are men. to obtain a team with 40% women, how many women should be hi

Savatey [412]

This is the concept of algebra, to solve the question we proceed as follows;
the current number of women is:
1/4*20=5 women
the percentage of women is:
1/4*100=25%
therefore for the team to have 40% women, the number of women should be:
40/25*5
=8 women
The answer is 8 women
