-2(x+14)+1=15

distribute

-2x - 14 + 1 = 15

add 14 to each side

-2x + 1 = 29

subtract one from each side

-2x = 28

divided by -2

x = -14

-2(x+14)+1=5

First, distribute -2 into x and 14.

-2x-28+1=5

Combine like terms.

-2x-27=5

Add 27 to both sides.

-2x=32

Divide both sides by -2.

x=-16

Your answer is -16.

I hope this helps :)

In a group of 28 students, 12 study both Art and Biology.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conditional probability:

P(B | A) = P(B and A) / P(A)

P(B | A) = (12/28) / P(A)

We need to find the probability that a student studies art.

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A and B)

24/28 = P(A) + (12+12)/28 − 12/28

P(A) = 12/28

P(B | A) = (12/28) / (12/28)

P(B | A) = 1

What this means is that all of the students who study art also study biology.

A truck driver can travel 560 miles on 28 gallons of gas. How far can he travel on 35 gallons of gas?
Shtirlitz [24]
560 / 28 = 20....so the driver travels 20 miles per gallon

on 35 gallons......35 * 20 = 700 miles <==

or u can also do it this way...

560/28 = x / 35....560 miles to 28 gal = x miles to 35 gal
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(28)(x) = (560)(35)
28x = 19600
x = 19600/28
x = 700 miles <==

so u can either do it by finding the unit rate or by making a proportion. either way will result in the same answer.
