1) Distribute 8(2x-14) + 13 = 4x - 27 then simplify like terms to get: 16x - 99 = 4x - 27.
2) Subtract 4x on both sides and at the same time add 99 to both sides to get: 12x=72.
3) Divide both sides by 12 to get x=6.
PART B: 6 makes the equation true because you just solved for it.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the first number is 2
Then 2 x 2 = 4 so there is a difference of 4 number
Then in between 6 and 14 there is a difference of 8 so 4 x 2 = 8
Then 16 so 8 x 2 = 16
So after 126 the number is 254
-11 is the answer
2(-2)-3(3)-(-2)
-4-9+2
-13+2
-11
hi im new how do i privatly chat on here?
Answer:
What we know is that 30% of the group have brown hair and are girls. It means that in the other 70% we have the boys with brown hair, the other boys and the other girls.
In the case all the girls have brown hair, the 70% remaining would be boys. So 70% of then would have brown hair. (0.7*0.7=0.49 -> 49% of the children would be brown hair) so 49% (boys) and 30% (girls) are more than 50%..
Now, let's suppouse that 90% of the group are girls. It means 10% are boys and 70% of that 10% (=7%) are the boys in the group that have brown hair. Now 7% + 30% of the children have brown hair, wich isn't more than the half.
We have explained with two extreme cases that the information is not enough for making a precise answer
