-5= -5x-10

Plus 10 from both sides

5=-5x
X = -1

To solve this you would have to use a reverse PEMDAS- it would be easy to start out simplifying the equation so -12 + 7 would be -5. (-5 = -5 (x+2))Next you can try to get rid of the -5 outside the parentheses by adding 5 to both sides, now making the problem 0 = x + 2. So, subtract the two from both sides and you are left with your answer -2= x

A bag contains 42 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 8 gray marbles. You randomly pick out a marble, record its color, and put it

Elanso [62]

For any single draw,

$\mathbb P(\text{white})=\dfrac6{42+6+8}=\dfrac6{56}$
$\mathbb P(\text{gray})=\dfrac8{42+6+8}=\dfrac8{56}$

Drawing a white marble or a gray marble are disjoint events; only one of them can happen. So

$\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\mathbb P(\text{white})+\mathbb P(\text{gray})-\underbrace{\mathbb P(\text{white and gray})}_0$
$\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\dfrac6{56}+\dfrac8{56}=\dfrac{14}{56}$

Out of 224 draws, you should expect $\dfrac{14}{56}\times224=56$ of the marbles to be either white or gray.
