Answer:
0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Fp: frequency that the pitcher will throw exactly 4 pitches to a batter=15
Fa: frequency that the pitcher will throw any pitches to a batter=15+20+40+15+10=100
P=Fp/Fa=15/100=0.15
So first you need to open the brackets, so it would be x+2+4x-122=180. Then we can add the 4x and the other x to make 5x, and then by doing 2-122 we get -120. This gives us the equation 5x-120=180. We then isolate the variable by moving the -120 to the other side of the equation and becoming a positive, so it would look like 5x=180+120. Then, we have 5x=300. 300 divides by 5 is 60 making X=60. Hope this helps!
