Answer:
10,361 dolls were sold in 2001.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of dolls sold in x years after 1993:
The number of dolls sold in x years after 1993 is given by:

Estimate how many dolls were sold in 2001.
2001 is 2001 - 1993 = 8 years after 1993, so this is f(8).

10,361 dolls were sold in 2001.
Answer:
do u still need help with this
State A has 4/35 of the largest cities in the country.
A has twice as many largest cities in the country than State B does.
This means State B has 2/35 of the largest cities in the country.
Your picture shows the first step: use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses.
5*7 -5*x = 2*x -3
Now, you have an equation with a constant and an x-term on each side. I like to pick the x-term with the smallest (most-negative) coefficient and add its opposite to the equation.
Adding 5x, we have
35 = 7x -3
Adding 3 will get the x-term on one side and the constant on the other
38 = 7x
Now, we divide by the coefficient of x
38/7 = x = 5 3/7
This is the correct answer, even though it is not an integer.
_____
Check
5(7 -(5 3/7)) = 2(5 3/7) -3 . . . . substitute for x in the original equation
5(1 4/7) = 10 6/7 -3 . . . . . . . . . evaluate the parentheses on the left, do the multiplication on the right
5 20/7 = 7 6/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . do the multiplicaton on the left, the subtraction on the right
5 +2 6/7 = 7 6/7 . . . . . . . . . . . rewrite 20/7, realize 5+2=7. true
