Ok so the first step is to -1 from both sides. On the right side it cancels out and on the left side it = -16. So now your left with -16= 8x. Your still not done yet though. So now what you want to do is divide both sides by 8. On the right side it cancels out and you bring down x and on the left side it equals -2. So x=-2. So to verify it you have to plu -2 back into the equation. So -15= 8 Times -2 +1 so 8 Times -2 = -16 plus one is -15. Hoped that helped!!

Can you help me .....................?
aniked [119]

Answer:

11/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired probability is the sum of ...

... (probability of choosing a coin) × (p(heads) on that coin)

Since the coins are chosen at random, we assume the probability of choosing a given coin is 1/3. Then ...

... p(heads) = (1/3)·(1/2) + (1/3)·1 + (1/3)·(1/3) = 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/9 = (3 +6 + 2)/18

... p(heads) = 11/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of all the angles in a triangle add up to 180.

So to find x do 180-(66+52)

The angle opposite of x is the same value as x

X+E or X+Z are both equal to 180.
