We have 5 Republican Candidates and 6 Democratic Candidates
We have a total 11 candidates to choose from
First pick of Democratic Candidates = 6/11 Second pick of Democratic Candidates = 5/10 Third pick of Democratic Candidates = 4/9 Fourth pick of Democratic Candidates = 3/8
The probability of four Democratic candidates in the committee is ××× =
First, we group together the terms with variables in one side by subtracting 3/2 x and 5 from both sides of the equation. (2/3)x - (3/2)x + 5 - 5 = (3/2)x - (3/2)x - 5 (-5/6)x = -5 The value of x from the equation is 6.
