Answer:-1
Step-by-step explanation:
I rewrote it so it looks like this:
6y+6(1+3y)=-18
6y+6(1)+6(3y)=-18
6y+6+18y=-18
24y+6=-18
<u> -6 -6</u>
<u>24y</u>=<u>-24</u>
24 24
y=-1
If they have 24 hours in a day, and use 1/6 of those 24 hours on news, they use 24*(1/6) or 4 hours on news. Assuming that they use the leftover time for just music and entertainment, we have 20h - 4h, so thats 20h. You were right. Not sure on their reasoning either.
2. random samples are the least biased samples.
Answer: 28-6x
This is the same as -6x+28
===============================
To get that answer, you multiply each term inside the parenthesis by the outer term 2
14 * 2 = 28
-3x * 2 = -6x
So,
(14-3x)*2 = 14*2 - 3x*2 = 28-6x
----------
The distribution rule says
a(b-c) = ab-ac
which is the same as saying
(b-c)a = ba-ca
We can flip things around because we can multiply in any order.
