Answer:
x = -6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute -4 on the left side of the equation first, then distribute 2 on the right side of the equation to get:
16x - 4 - 4x = 2x - 14 - 2
combine 'like terms':
12x - 4 = 2x - 16
subtract '2x' from each side to get:
10x - 4 = -16
add 4 to each side to get:
10x = -12
x = -12/10 or x = -6/5
 
        
             
        
        
        
I believe that its easier to understand the multiplication of a radical than that of a polynomial.
<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>
In mathematics, a radical is the opposite of an exponent that is represented with a symbol '√' also known as root.
A polynomial is an expression which is composed of variables, constants and exponents, that are combined using the mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
When multiplying radicals with the same index, multiply under the radical, and then multiply in front of the radical. An example is:
= 3✓2 × 4✓2
= 12✓4
= 12 × 2
= 24
The multiplication of a radical is easier.

Answer:
a.) Probability = 1/5
b.) 10 soda 
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is a game of chance.
The initial chance = 1/12
If Lucky Lucy bought five sodas and won a free one with four of the caps. The probability of that happening will be 1/5
Having a greater than 50% chance of winning a free soda means having probability greater than half. That is,
Probability > 1/2
You would have to buy (12 - 2) soda. Which is equal to 10.
