Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

The solution is x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve for x in the equation

- 2x + 8 =  - 6

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

- 2x + 8 - 8 =  - 6 - 8

Simplify to get:

- 2x + 0 =  - 14

This implies that:

- 2x =  - 14

x =  \frac{ - 14}{ - 2}

x = 7

A basket contains 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs, and 11 lemons. Taylor is in a hurry to make breakfast and picks something from t
guajiro [1.7K]
Okay so probability is just percentage of a whole, right?

So you have 14 White Eggs + 15 Brown Eggs + 11 Lemons.

Add all those numbers together and you get your whole.

14 + 15 = 29    29+11 = 40

40 is your whole. 

So because you want to know how likely it is to pick up an egg, you would follow these steps.

100/40 = 2.5 (For each part of the 40, it is worth 2.5 percent.)

2.5 x 29 = 72.5

Your probability of picking an egg out of the bask is 72.5 percent or 72.5 out of 100.

Three ladders measure 5 3/4 meters, and 7 1/4 meters in length. What is the difference between the longest and shortest lengths?
Dovator [93]
7 1/4 - 5 3/4= 1 1/2 because you can either 1) change it into decimals: 7.25-5.75 and do simple subtraction or... 2) u can change the 7 to a 6 and add 4 to the numerator of 1/4 making the equation 6 5/4 - 5 3/4 = 1 2/4 which simplified to 1 1/2 I hope I didn’t confuse you! :))
