Answer:

<h2>x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

8(4-x)=7x+2\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(8)(4)+(8)(-x)=7x+2\\\\32-8x=7x+2\qquad\text{subtract 32 from both sides}\\\\32-32-8x=7x+2-32\\\\-8x=7x-30\qquad\texy{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-8x-7x=7x-7x-30\\\\-15x=-30\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-15)}\\\\\dfrac{-15x}{-15}=\dfrac{-30}{-15}\\\\x=2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8(4 - x) = 7x + 2 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

32 - 8x = 7x + 2 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

32 - 15x = 2 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

- 15x = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 15 )

x = 2

Solve for s.<br> 0.5s +1= 7+ 4.58<br> S =?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

s = 21.16

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5s +1= 7+ 4.58

Combine like terms

0.5s +1=11.58

Subtract 1 from each side

0.5s +1-1= 11.58-1

.5s = 10.58

Multiply by 2

.5s *2 = 10.58*2

s = 21.16

How do you multiply
vodomira [7]

You multiply using the multiplication table. Multiplication is one of the four basic operations in arithmetic, along with addition, subtraction, and division. Multiplication can actually be considered repeated addition, and you can solve simple multiplication problems by adding repeatedly. For larger numbers, you'll want to do long multiplication, which breaks the process down into repeated simple multiplication and addition problems. You can also try a shortcut version of long multiplication by splitting the smaller number in the problem into tens and ones, but this works best when the smaller number is between 10 and 19.

A coin favors heads when tossed and there are 15 heads in 18 tosses
Alexxandr [17]
This is not correct.  You might think you are "on a roll" but the probability of heads on any toss is just as likely as the probability of tails because each coin toss is an independent event, meaning, two events related in such a way that knowing about the occurrence of one event has no effect on the probability of the the other event.  This would hold true if you have tossed these 15 heads and you believe that tails "are due".  It is an independent event.
