Because the <span>reciprocal is the opposite so it would be canceling out one side while moving it to the other. It's kind of like dividing by 3/5</span>

Reagan will use a random number generator 1,200 times. Each result will be a digit from 1 to 6. Which statement best predicts ho
Stolb23 [73]

The answer is B.

The only reason it will be 200 is because the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,and 6 are all an option so the probability of 5 is 1/6 and if you multiply 1/6 by 1,200 you will get 200. Hope this helped!

Factor Completely: -3x - 9
uranmaximum [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-9

divide the equation by -1 so that the -1's are taken from -3x and -9. so the -1 goes on the outside of 3x+9

-1(3x+9)

then divide the equation by 3 since 3x and 9 is divisible by 3.

(-1)(3)(3/3x+9/3)

-3(x+3)

Now we can expand again to check the problem

-3 times x=-3x

-3 times 3=-9

and add

-3x-9

Hope that helps :)
