--Answer--

The number is 8.
We verify:

x + 12 = 20 
x = 20 - 12
x = 8

Build an equation from this phrase.

"The sum of a number and 12..." The word sum is the keyword of what operation we are doing. We are doing addition. When we continue the phrase we know we are adding a number (an unknown) and 12.

So, on the left-hand side we have x + 12.

"... is 20" In mathematics, the word 'is' can mean equal. So, the left-hand side will equal the number 20.

Now we have the equation x + 12 = 20.

Solve for x.

x + 12 = 20
x = 8 <-- Subtract each side by 12

So, x is equal to 8.

If you roll one die and flip one coin, what is the probability of rolling a 2 and flipping a head? Why?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Probability of rolling a 2 and flipping a head will be \frac{1}{12}    

Step-by-step explanation:

If we roll one die then probability to get any one side is \frac{1}{6}

Therefore, probability to get 2 by rolling the die will be P(A) = \frac{1}{6}

Now we flip a coin then getting head or tale probability is \frac{1}{2}

Or probability to get head by flipping the coin P(B) = \frac{1}{2}

Probability of happening both the events (rolling a 2 and flipping a head) will be denoted by

P(A∩B) = P(A)×P(B)

           = \frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{2}

           = \frac{1}{12}

Therefore, probability of rolling a 2 and flipping a head will be \frac{1}{12}
