To solve the equation you can first subtract 4x from both sides. Then,

$\begin{gathered} 4x-5=8+4x\rightarrow\text{original equation} \\ 4x-4x-5=8+4x-4x \\ 0-5=8+0 \\ -5=8 \end{gathered}$

Since you arrive at something false, -5 is not equal to negative 8, so the equation has no solution.

Two 6-sided dice are rolled. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 9?

AVprozaik [17]

What combination of numbers are needed in order to get a sum of 9?
It can be:
• First die is 6 , second die is 3
• First die is 3 , second die is 6
• First die is 4 , second die is 5
• First die is 5 , second die is 4

How many possible combinations are made? Yep, 4 possible combinations.

Recall the formula for probability
$Probability = \frac{Number of desired outcomes}{Number of all possible outcomes}$

There are 4 desired number of outcomes.
How about the total possible outcomes?
• How many numbers are possible to appear when the first die is rolled?
Answer: 6
• What about the second die?
Answer: Also 6
• Therefore, total possible outcomes = 6 * 6 = 36 outcomes

You can now solve for the probability.

$Probability = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}$ or approximately 11.11%

Y = mx + b

m = slope, b = y-intercept

m = -3, therefore the slope is -3

3x-1/5-2/9x=124/5<br>how do you solve this?

Sergeu [11.5K]

So first you would combine the like-terms so you get:
$\frac{7}{9} x - \frac{1}{5} = 124 \div 5$
and combine the second like-terms:
$\frac{7}{9}x - \frac{1}{5} = 24.8$
now you only have a two step equation and you continue by doing the reciprocal and you add the -1/5 to the 24.8 where you get:

7/9x=24.6

then because the 7/9 is being multiplied by the x and your trying to isolate it you divide it by the 7/9 on both sides and you'll end up getting

x=31.628571429....
