To solve for X you need to simplify both sides on the equation
<span><span><span>23</span><span>(<span><span>4x</span>−5</span>)</span></span>=8

</span><span><span><span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>4x</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>−5</span>)</span></span></span>=8 *</span>Distribute*

<span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>=<span>8

after that you add 10/3 on both sides

</span></span><span><span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>+10/3</span>=<span>8+10/3</span></span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>=<span>34/<span>3

finally multiply 3/8 on both sides
</span></span></span><span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span><span>8/3</span>x</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span>34/3</span><span>)

and your answer should be
X= 17/4
</span></span></span>

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Letter B matches the probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy throws a fair six sided dice.

Probability of the dice landing on a number between 1 and 6 = $\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Number of events}}$

= $\frac{1}{6}$

On a number line fraction $\frac{1}{6}$ can be represented by,

An small section (A to B) will represent the fraction = $\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, letter B will match the probability of a dice landing on a number between 1 and 6.
