First multiply and dstribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
2(3x+2)=6x+4
6x+4=2x-1+x
add like terms
6x+4=3x-1
subtract 3x from both sides
3x+4=-1
subtract 4 from both sides
3x=-5
divide bothe sides by 3
x=-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the complete question.
Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?
Let us convert time taken into hours as:


1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert minutes into hours, we will divide total minutes by 60.

Now, we will divide 1800 by 45 to find average rate in laps per hour as:


Therefore, Sebastian's average rate is 40 laps per hour.
Answer:
The number of confirmed cases is the independent variable.
The number of deaths is the dependent variable.
Why?
<u>The number of deaths is dependent on the fact that there are cases, so the number of deaths is a dependent variable.</u>
