Therefore it is reasonable to assume that at least 30% of white voters would have been persuaded by non racist Trump arguments. 30% is more than half of 58% which I believe is the white trump vote.
Begin with a simple algebraic equation:
a + b = c
Now, replace each letter with 4 of that letter minus 3 of that letter:
4a - 3a + 4b - 3b = 4c - 3c
Rearrange, so that the 4s are on the left and the 3s on the right
4a + 4b - 4c = 3a + 3b - 3c
Simplify by factoring:
4(a + b - c) = 3(a + b - c)
Then divide each side by a+b-c:
4 = 3
