Step-by-step explanation:
The expression for “the difference of 10 and x.”
can be given in two ways:
10 - x
or
x - 10
Bring like terms together
(REMEMBER CHANGE THE SIGN WHEN MOVING ACROSS THE EQUAL SIGN i.e. - becomes + and + becomes -)
4x - 2x = 7 - 3
2x = 4
divide both sides by 2
x = 2
Starting more simply, if we wanted to know how many students like pink in general, that's 68/100. We could do that for each single category and the fractions would add together to equal 1. Now say we wanted to know something about that 68/100 people. That 68 is our new 100%, or another way of looking at it is if we take however many people like pink and don't like black and those that do like black, they will equal 68/68.
The number of people that like pink but don't like black is 41/68 and those that like pink and black are 27/68. 27+41=68 For the question of your problem it is asking about those that do not like pink which you can tell from the table or use from my saying 68/100 like pink is 32. Now you can split that into those that do or don't like black, and the two results will equal 32/32.
