Independent events. Someone does not have to buy popcorn to buy a drink and someone does not have to buy a drink to buy popcorn.

(18 + 12q) = 6(2q - 7) Use the Distributive Property on both sides
6 + 4q = 12q - 42 Subtract 12q from both sides
6 - 8q = -42 Subtract 6 from both sides
-8q = -48 Divide both sides by -8
q = 6
Answer:
2a (3-4a)
Step-by-step explanation:
(2a+1)-4a(2a+1)+4a
2a+1-8a²-1+4a
= 2a+4a-8a²
=6a-8a²
= 2a(3-4a)
