Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributive property: a(b +c) = a*b + a*c
(2x + 1) - 7(-6x + 9) = (2x + 1) + (-7)*(-6x) + (-7)*9
= 2x + 1 + 42x - 63 {Combine like terms}
= 2x + 42x + 1 - 63
= 44x - 62
Your simplified answer is indeed 2/3 (or 60%, or 0.6) because the fraction 24/36 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6, which leaves you with 2/3.

so, the interest earned then will be A - 3500.
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of children's tickets is x, while the amount of adults' tickets is 2x
5.1*x- the amount of money from children
9.6*2x= 19.2x- the amount of money from adults
5.1x+19.2x= 558.9
x=23 - child tickets
Substitute the x with 5
-(5)2 + 4(5) - 10 = 0
