Answer:

Number of overweight citizens were 16.74 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a study it was concluded that out of 100 citizens 60 citizens were overweight.

If population was 279 million then we have to calculate overweight citizens.

We will apply unitary method in this question.

∵ Out of 100 citizens overweight citizens are = 60

∴ out of 1 citizens overweight were = \frac{60}{100}

∴ out of 279 millions overweight citizens were = [tex]\frac{60}{100}(279) = .06×279 = 16.74 million.

If a + b + c = -2 and x + y = 10,<br> what is -9a + 2x - 9b - 9c + 2y?

because since all abc and xy have the same coefficients it makes it easier. 
i just made a=-2, b=-4,and c=4 because when added up it equals -2
i also made both x and y =5 becasue when added up it equals 10
so, -9(-2)+2(5)-9(-4)-9(4)+2(5)
18+10+36-36+10=38
