Solve the parenthesis:
(2 + 8 - 8) = (10 - 8) = 2
Divide: -30/2 = -15
-15 is your answer.
Symmetric property, I remembered the answer for this for my summer school. This is one of the equivalence properties of equality.
The answer I got was 0.18
Answer:
There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have these following probabilities:
A 70% probability that Doug bakes the cake.
A 30% probability that Jeremy bakes the cake.
A 40% probability that a cake baked by Doug gets a thumbs up.
A 10% that a cake baked by Jeremy gets a thumbs up.
One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014 and got a "thumbs up".
1. Find the probability that the cake was baked by Doug.
The probability that a baked cake gets a thumbs up is:

Of those, 0.7*0.4 = 0.28 are baked by Doug.
So the probability is:

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.
You left out the 9 in the whole equation. The 1st step you had right you just forgot to put +9. 2nd step you are combining the like terms and get 11-26x=-34x+40. Step 3: you are trying to isolate the x on one of the sides. You need to switch the 11 over to the 40 and get 29. Move -34x over to -26x and get 8x. Step 4 all you are doing in dividing 8 from both sides and get 5.
