we want to in 85% of the total population

percent means parts out of 100 so 85% is 85/100

85% 'of' 15000 means 85/100 times 15000=12750 people who were over 40 and voted

Solve x in 2|x+ 6| + 9 = 19
xenn [34]
Answer: x=-1

Step by step:

2|x+6|+9=19

Subtract 9 from both sides.

2|x+6|=10

Divide both sides by 2

|x+6|=5

Use the definition of absolute value.

x+6=5

Subtract 6 on both sides

x=-1

Hope this helped! :)
