<span>P(1 claim) = p/4
P(2 claims) = (p/4)/4 = p/16

You should see that the distribution follows a geometric series with common ratio 1/4.
Sum geometric = (first term) / (1 - common ratio) = p/(1 - 1/4) = 4p/3

But the sum of all the probabilites must equal 1 ----> 4p/3 = 1 ----> p = 3/4

P(2 or more claims) = 1 - P(0 claims) - P(1 claim) = 1 - 3/4 - 3/16 = 1/16</span>

-17x 15 6x - 23 = 10 - 8x
djyliett [7]
First add your x values and your numbers on the left side
-17x + 6x= -11x
15 + -23= -8
New equation is:
-11x-8= 10-8x
Since you can't have 2 x values on different sides, you have two add the least x value to the other one. -11 is smaller
10 + 3X= -8
Subtract 10 on both sides.
3x= -18
Divide by 3
X= -6
