Answer: x = -9/ addition property of equality

Explanation: In this problem, we're given that x - 7 = -16 and we're asked to solve the equation and explain which equality we used.

The first statement we have will be

the given statement which is x - 7 = -16.

Now, we just solve the equation.

Our first and only step will be to add 7 to both sides.

Then, we find that x = -9.

The property we used here was the addition property of equality.

This property tells us that we can add the same quantity,

or equal quantities, to both sides of an equation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An option to buy a stock is priced at $150. If the stock closes above 30 next Thursday, the option will be worth $1000. If it closes below 20, the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30, the option will be worth $200. A trader thinks there is a 50% chance that the stock will close in the 20-30 range, a 20% chance that it will close above 30, and a 30% chance that it will fall below 20.

a) Let X represent the price of the option

$1000 20/100 = 0.2

$200 50/100 = 0.5

$0 30/100 = 0.3

b) Expected option price

$= \sum x.P(X=x)\\\\ = 1000 * 0.2 + 200 * 0.5 + 0 = \$ 300$
