Twenty five percent probability
Answer:
Shane started the problem correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given problem (-5) - (-1 3/4).
Mariah started the problem as (-5) + 1 - 3/4
Shane started the problem as (-5) + 1 + 3/4
We need to find who started the problem correctly.
The problem should be started by converting the mixed fraction into improper fraction i,e

Now we will solve bracket by multiplying -1 with term inside the bracket i.e


Let's compare both the procedures now:
Mariah:



Therefore, Mariah did not start the problem correctly.
Shane:



Therefore, Shane started the problem correctly.
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given function is

According to the remainder theorem,

where R is the remainder when

is divided by

We therefore substitute the value of x and evaluate to obtain,



This will evaluate to,

Hence the value of the function when

is

According to the remainder theorem,

is the remainder when

is divided by

-15x2 + -2x + 8 = 0
Reorder the terms:
8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0
Solving
8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor a trinomial.
(2 + -3x)(4 + 5x) = 0
Subproblem 1Set the factor '(2 + -3x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
2 + -3x = 0
Solving
2 + -3x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -3x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -3x = 0 + -2
-3x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-3x = -2
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = 0.6666666667
Simplifying
x = 0.6666666667
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + 5x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
4 + 5x = 0
Solving
4 + 5x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 5x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 5x = 0 + -4
5x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
5x = -4
Divide each side by '5'.
x = -0.8
Simplifying
x = -0.8
Solutionx = {0.6666666667, -0.8}</span>
Add like terms and put x in the middle.
-3 < -2x + x - 3x ≤ 5 - 2
-3 < - 4x ≤ 3
