The answer is -4 because 4+2 is equal to 6 and then 6-2 is equal to 4 and then times into the number of 2 the answer is 4x2 is equal to 8 and then minus into the negative 5 an the answer is -4.
SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: State the number of outcomes possible for three tossing of a coin
Since a coin has two possible outcomes and is tossed three times, the total outcomes will be:

STEP 2: Find the number of sample spaces for the three tosses
STEP 3: Get the outcomes of the events for which the second toss is tails
Hence, the answers are given as:
Sample Space:

The event that the second toss is tails:
Answer:
6xy^3 +12xy^2 z
Step-by-step explanation:
3xy^2 (2y+4z)
Multiply
3xy^2 * 2y + 3xy^2 *4z
common factors
3xy^3 +3xy^2 *4z
Multiply
6xy^3 +12xy^2 z
Half the chance of landing tail once(1/2)
Half the chance of land tails four times (1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2)
1/16
