Answer:
900 people preferred hamburgers.
Step-by-step explanation:
540/x=60/100
cross multiply
60x=54,000 then
60x/60=54,000/60
x=900
so 900 people preferred hamburger
keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and that passes through (1 , -1)

In other words, the event<span> has no effect on the probability of another </span>event<span> occurring. </span>Independent events<span> in probability are no different from </span>independent events<span> in real life. ... When two </span>events<span> are </span>independent<span>, one </span>event does not influence the probability of another event<span>.</span>
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 5x + 7= 7x +23
Move the terms
2) 5x + 7 -7x = 23
Collect like terms
3) 5x -7x = 23 - 7
Calculate
4) -2x = 16
Divide both sides by <em>-2</em>
5) x = -8
