How do you solve 5x-2=8?

Mathematics
2 answers:
MariettaO [177]4 years ago

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2 = 8

get rid of 2 to get x by itself on the left side

5x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (whatever u do to one side do to the other)

5x = 10

divide to get 1x (divide both sides by 5)

x = 10

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5×2=10-2=8

You subtract add two to both sides, giving you 5x=10

Divide the 10 by 5 and you get 2.

How do i work out the probability of rolling two sixes
Olegator [25]

Answer: p = 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, you know that the probability of rolling a six is p = 1/5

now, if you want to have two sixes, then you have two events with a probability of 1/5.

And as you know the joint probability for two events is equal to the product of the probabilities, then the probability of rolling two sixes is:

p = (1/5)*(1/5) = 1/25.
