Answer:
357 passengers
Step-by-step explanation:
(The 
is 85% of the 100% people because 15% is missing)
When you cross-simplify you get: 
which is 
Finally, multiply 17 by 21 to get x.
Therefore, x=357
Yes, that's a statement. Another example of a statement is "(0,0) is the origin." Something that wouldn't be considered a statement is something like "pi is a boring and confusing number."
Hope this helps!
Since the -13 has the absolute value signs next to it, the 13 becomes a positive, but there is a negative outside the absolute value, and the negative sign and the absolute value sign cancelled previously, so the expressions is now
-13
The absolute value signs cancel out a negative only inside the signs, not outside, so the negative sign in the outside keeps.
Taking the derivative of 7 times secant of x^3:
We take out 7 as a constant focus on secant (x^3)
To take the derivative, we use the chain rule, taking the derivative of the inside, bringing it out, and then the derivative of the original function. For example:
The derivative of x^3 is 3x^2, and the derivative of secant is tan(x) and sec(x).
Knowing this: secant (x^3) becomes tan(x^3) * sec(x^3) * 3x^2. We transform tan(x^3) into sin(x^3)/cos(x^3) since tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). Then secant(x^3) becomes 1/cos(x^3) since the secant is the reciprocal of the cosine.
We then multiply everything together to simplify:
sin(x^3) * 3x^2/ cos(x^3) * cos(x^3) becomes
3x^2 * sin(x^3)/(cos(x^3))^2
and multiplying the constant 7 from the beginning:
7 * 3x^2 = 21x^2, so...
our derivative is 21x^2 * sin(x^3)/(cos(x^3))^2
