Malloy solved the equation −5x − 16 = 8; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −5x − 16 = 8 Step 1:

−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16 Step 2: −5x = 24 Step 3: negative five times x over five = twenty-four over five Step 4: x = twenty-four over five Step 1: He should have subtracted 16 from each side. Step 1: He should have divided both sides by −5. Step 3: He should have multiplied both sides by −5. Step 3: He should have divided both sides by −5.

The correct answer is : Step 3: He should have divided both sides by -5 because in order to isolate x from -5x, you must divide its coefficient, which is -5. Dividing 5 from both sides leaves -1x or -x.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:  0.3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The digits in number system = 10      ( 0 to 9)

The total different nine-digit Social security numbers  = 10^9  [By Fundamental counting principle]

=1,000,000,000   = 1 billion

Total people in united state = 300 million = 300, 000 ,000

Since each person In US have equal chance to get chosen.

Therefore , if a number is selected randomly  , then the probability that it belongs to one of the 300 million people in the United States :-

=\dfrac{300, 000 ,000}{1,000, 000 ,000}=0.3

Hence, the required probability is 0.3 .

4x - 3y + 20 = 0....4x - 3y = -21

4x - 3y = -21.....multiply by -2
5x - 6y = -25
----------------
-8x + 6y = 42 (result of multiplying by -2)
5x - 6y = -25
---------------add
-3x = 17
x = -17/3
