[ Answer ]

[ Explanation ]
4(y + 6) - 2(y - 2)
[Expand] 4(y + 6): 4y + 24
4y + 24 - 2(y - 2)
[Expand] -2(y - 2): -2y + 4
4y + 24 - 2y + 4
[Simplify] 4y + 24 - 2y + 4: 2y + 28
= 2y + 28

Answer:
The probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Success rate of the cold remedy = 88%
The number of people who took the remedy = 45
Now, 88% of 45 = 
and 39.6 ≈ 40
So, out of 45 people, the remedy worked on total 40 people.
Now, let E: Event of people being cured by cold remedy
Favorable outcomes = 40

or,
= 
Hence, the probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.
D) a.b > 0 is the wrong answer

Let's find the slope of line passing through given points ~
Hence, slope of the line will be 1.
Assuming that the probability of boys and girls is equal (in reality slightly more boys than girls are born), the probability is 1/2, simply because the older girl's gender is given and therefore not a part of the probability.
This question comes from the 'boy or girl paradox', a.k.a. the Mrs Smith Problem.
