Answer:

the probability that it is not a drama movie is 15/23

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability we have to make the number of favorable events divided the number of possible events

number of possible events = x

to calculate it we add all the movies

x = 10 + 5 + 8

x = 23

number of favorable events = y

to calculate it we subtract the drama movies from the total of movies

y = x - 8

y = 23 - 8

y = 15

now we divide 15 by 23 and we get the probability

15/23

Solve for n -3n-5=16
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

n = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n:

-3 n - 5 = 16

Hint: | Isolate terms with n to the left-hand side.

Add 5 to both sides:

(5 - 5) - 3 n = 5 + 16

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

5 - 5 = 0:

-3 n = 16 + 5

Hint: | Evaluate 16 + 5.

16 + 5 = 21:

-3 n = 21

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of -3 n = 21 by -3:

(-3 n)/(-3) = 21/(-3)

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

(-3)/(-3) = 1:

n = 21/(-3)

Hint: | Reduce 21/(-3) to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 21 and -3.

The gcd of 21 and -3 is 3, so 21/(-3) = (3×7)/(3 (-1)) = 3/3×7/(-1) = 7/(-1):

n = 7/(-1)

Hint: | Simplify the sign of 7/(-1).

Multiply numerator and denominator of 7/(-1) by -1:

Answer: n = -7
