Answer:
x is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6 (x + 1) = 24
6 (x) + 6(1) = 24
6x + 6 = 24
Subtract 6 on both sides
6x + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6
6x + 0 = 18
6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3
Answer:
The answer is the first one.
Answer:
1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1 1/2 + 3 1/2 = 5
6 1/2 - 5 =1 1/2
Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.
P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes
It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.
P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18
P(1 or 17) = 2/18
Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.
2/18 simplifies to 1/9
So, your answer is 1/9
