Hey there! :)

1/2(n - 1) - 3 = 3 - (2n + 3)

Simplify.

1/2n - 1/2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3

Add like terms.

1/2n - 3 1/2 = -2n

Add 3 1/2 to both sides.

1/2n = -2n + 3 1/2

Then, add 2n to both sides.

1/2n + 2n = 3 1/2

Simplify!

2 1/2n = 3 1/2

Make everything into improper fractions!

5/2n = 7/2

Multiply everything by 2 to get rid of the denominators.

5/2n × 2 = 7/2 × 2

Simplify!

5n = 7

Divide both sides by 5.

n = 7/5

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since only 30% of the population carries the gene, that would mean 70% doesn't carry it. Since you are using 10 digits for this experiment (0-9) this would mean that 0-2 would carry the gene (this equals 30%) and 3-9 would not (70%)

Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h).  Substitute -2 for k and 3 for h, as well as -2 for m:
