Hi!

The only like terms in the equation are 16x and -4x because they both have <em>x</em> as a coefficient. 

Like terms would not be something like 25 and 8x. 

When you combine like terms, you solve them like normal. 
16x - 4x = 12x

The answer is 12x = -48

If you want me to solve for x, here you go:

Divide by 12 on both sides.
12x/12 = -48/12
x = -4

Hope this helps! :)

16x-4x=-48   1. first we combine like terms by subtracting 4 from 16
12x=-48       2. now, we divide both sides by 12 to isolate x
 x=-4

Solve the following equation on the interval [0, 2π). tan^2x sin x = tan^2x
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3>Given</h3>

tan(x)²·sin(x) = tan(x)²

<h3>Find</h3>

x on the interval [0, 2π)

<h3>Solution</h3>

Subtract the right side and factor. Then make use of the zero-product rule.

... tan(x)²·sin(x) -tan(x)² = 0

... tan(x)²·(sin(x) -1) = 0

This is an indeterminate form at x = π/2 and undefined at x = 3π/2. We can resolve the indeterminate form by using an identity for tan(x)²:

... tan(x)² = sin(x)²/cos(x)² = sin(x)²/(1 -sin(x)²)

Then our equation becomes

... sin(x)²·(sin(x) -1)/((1 -sin(x))(1 +sin(x))) = 0

... -sin(x)²/(1 +sin(x)) = 0

Now, we know the only solutions are found where sin(x) = 0, at ...

... x ∈ {0, π}

I am Lyosha [343]
The correct order is:
the probability of heads on 2nd and 4th toss only; 
the probability of at least 3 tails in a row; 
the probability of 3 or more heads;
the probability of consecutive tails; and 
the probability of at least 2 tails.

There are 16 outcomes in the sample space.

There are 8 ways of having consecutive tails; this gives the probability 8/16.
There is 1 way of having heads on the 2nd and 4th toss only, making the probability 1/16.
There are 3 ways to have at least 3 tails in a row, making the probability 3/16.
There are 11 ways to have at least 2 tails, making the probability 11/16.
There are 5 ways to have at least 3 heads, making the probability 5/16.
