1) Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses.
.. 3(6x) -3(5) -7(3x) -7(10) = 0
.. 18x -15 -21x -70 = 0 . . . . . . finish multiplying terms
.. -3x -85 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect like terms
.. -85 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add 3x
.. -85/3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3
.. -28 1/3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . write as mixed number
2) 5 -(6 +9x) = 9 -(4x -1)
.. 5 -6 -9x = 9 -4x +1 . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
.. -1 -9x = 10 -4x . . . . . . . . . collect like terms
.. -1 = 10 +5x . . . . . . . . . . . . add 9x
.. -11 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
.. -11/5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
.. -2 1/5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . write as mixed number
The signs of the numbers in the problem matter because if a number is negative in the equation than you're answer could be negative. ex. -3/9= -3 but if the negative sign wasn't there than the answer would be wrong bc the answer would be positive.

Answer:
P = 0.008908
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
The table below describes the smoking habits of a group of asthma sufferers
Nonsmokers Light Smoker Heavy smoker Total
Men 303 35 37 375
Women 413 31 45 489
Total 716 66 82 864
If two different people are randomly selected from the 864 subjects, find the probability that they are both heavy smokers.
The number of ways in which we can select x subjects from a group of n subject is given by the combination and it is calculated as:
Now, there are 82C2 ways to select subjects that are both heavy smokers. Because we are going to select 2 subjects from a group of 82 heavy smokers. So, it is calculated as:
At the same way, there are 864C2 ways to select 2 different people from the 864 subjects. It is equal to:
Then, the probability P that two different people from the 864 subjects are both heavy smokers is:
The cost for a gallon of Moo Milk is $5.12
To find the cost of 8 fl. oz. of Moo Milk, the unit price must be found.
Therefore:
One gallon of liquid equals 128 fluid ounces.
5.12 ÷ 128 = 0.04
0.04 × 8 = 0.32
Therefore, the cost of 8 fluid ounces of Moo Milk is $0.032
I hope this helped - Maria S.
