I think the simplify expression is 2^2 x 7 = 28. Sorry if it is wrong
F ^-1(x) = x+7/2 should be your solution I really hope this helps and im so sorry if it doesn’t!!
By the binomial theorem we know that

The probability that exactly 5 of 8 support the incumbent is the term

So at least five of eight support is the sum of this term and beyond,

No particularly easy way of calculating that except popping it into Wolfram Alpha which reports

Shouldn't half the terms work out to .6 ? Interestingly it's not exactly .6 but pretty close at .594.

I would use substitution because x is already solved for in the equation x= -2y and we can substitute it into 5x-y =44
