Answer:

x=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x + 1 = -x + 8

.5x + x = 8-1

1.5x = 7

x = 7 - 1.5

x =5.5

1/2x imma change to .5x
.5x+1 = -x +8
Imma put all the numbers on the right side so I’m going to subtract one from each side
.5x=-x+7
Then imma add x to both sides to get that x on the left
1.5x=7
So now imma divid both sides by 1.5 then I’ll get a answer
X= 4.66
My math is wrong XD but my steps are right I hope this helps you in some way

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The technical probability of rolling any number on a standard die is 1/6 because there's six numbers. Based on that, since he rolled a "4" on 5 tosses, it seems likely that it's 30 times, because 1/6 of 30 is 5. I haven't done probability in awhile but if I remember correctly that should be right

A line passes through the points (–3, –4) and (6, 2). What number is the x-intercept?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}$

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3$
