Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1: 5(2x - 4) = 30.
Distribute
10x -20 = 30
Add 20 to each side
10x-20+20 =30+20
10x = 50
Divide by 10
10x/10 = 50/10
x =5
Part 2: 5x + 3 - x + 2 = 41
Combine like terms
4x +5 = 41
Subtract 5 from each side
4x+5-5 = 41-5
4x = 36
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 36/4
x = 9
Answer: -1
The negative value indicates a loss
============================================================
Explanation:
Define the three events
A = rolling a 7
B = rolling an 11
C = roll any other total (don't roll 7, don't roll 11)
There are 6 ways to roll a 7. They are
1+6 = 7
2+5 = 7
3+4 = 7
4+3 = 7
5+2 = 7
6+1 = 7
Use this to compute the probability of rolling a 7
P(A) = (number of ways to roll 7)/(number total rolls) = 6/36 = 1/6
Note: the 36 comes from 6*6 = 36 since there are 6 sides per die
There are only 2 ways to roll an 11. Those 2 ways are:
5+6 = 11
6+5 = 11
The probability for event B is P(B) = 2/36 = 1/18
Since there are 6 ways to roll a "7" and 2 ways to roll "11", there are 6+2 = 8 ways to roll either event.
This leaves 36-8 = 28 ways to roll anything else
P(C) = 28/36 = 7/9
-----------------------------
In summary so far,
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = 1/18
P(C) = 7/9
The winnings for each event, let's call it W(X), represents the prize amounts.
Any losses are negative values
W(A) = amount of winnings if event A happens
W(B) = amount of winnings if event B happens
W(C) = amount of winnings if event C happens
W(A) = 18
W(B) = 54
W(C) = -9
Multiply the probability P(X) values with the corresponding W(X) values
P(A)*W(A) = (1/6)*(18) = 3
P(B)*W(B) = (1/18)*(54) = 3
P(C)*W(C) = (7/9)*(-9) = -7
Add up those results
3+3+(-7) = -1
The expected value for this game is -1.
The player is expected to lose on average 1 dollar per game played.
Note: because the expected value is not 0, this is not a fair game.
Answer:
Increase (A)
Step-by-step explanation:
If the common ratio is greater than 1, that means the y-value increases as the x-value increases.
If the common ratio is 1, that means the y-value stays the same as the x-value increases.
If the common ratio is between 0 and 1, that means the y-value decreases and approaches 0 ad the x-value increases.
Because the common ratio is greater than 1, the answer is A, increases

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. The y-intercept represents the amount of money Stephanie has. She started at -16 because she spent $16.
B. The x-intercept is the amount of cups of lemonade she sold. On the graph, it shows that after 8 cups, she made 16 dollars back. She didn't make any profit sense she started at -16.
C. The slope represents how much she made after so many cups of lemonade were sold. It was after 8 cups of lemonade were sold that she started making a profit.
