Solution Steps

Step 1: Rewrite the Equation in Standard Form

The given equation is:

\[ |2y + 7| - 7 = 0 \]

Add 7 to both sides to rewrite it in standard form:

\[ |2y + 7| = 7 \]

Step 2: Solve the Absolute Value Equation

The absolute value equation \( |2y + 7| = 7 \) can be split into two separate linear equations:

  1. \( 2y + 7 = 7 \)
  2. \( 2y + 7 = -7 \)
Step 3: Solve Each Linear Equation

Equation 1:

\[ 2y + 7 = 7 \]

Subtract 7 from both sides:

\[ 2y = 0 \]

Divide by 2:

\[ y = 0 \]

Equation 2:

\[ 2y + 7 = -7 \]

Subtract 7 from both sides:

\[ 2y = -14 \]

Divide by 2:

\[ y = -7 \]

Final Answer

The solutions to the equation are:

\[ \boxed{y = 0} \quad \text{and} \quad \boxed{y = -7} \]

In a recent poll, a random sample of adults in some country (18 years and older) was asked, "When you see an ad emphasizing that a product is "Made in our country," are you more likely to buy it, less likely to buy it, or neither more nor less likely to buy it?" The results of the survey, by age group, are presented in the following contingency table. Complete parts (a) through (c). Purchase likelihood 18-3435-4445-5455 + Total More likely 217 332 396 410 1355 Less likely 20 10 29 15 74 Neither more nor less likely 283 203 178 124 788 Total 520 545 603 549 2217 (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected individual is 45 to 54 years of age, given the individual is more likely to buy a product emphasized as "Made in our country"? The probability is approximately 0.292 . (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected individual is more likely to buy a product emphasized as "Made in our country," given the individual is 45 to 54 years of age? The probability is approximately 0.657 . (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Are 18 - to 34 -year-olds more likely to buy a product emphasized as "Made in our country' than individuals in general? Yes, more likely No, less likely
