Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

54 customers paid with cash

42 paid with debit card

153 paid with credit card

Add them up to find the total amount of people:

54 + 42 + 153 = 249

Now write 54(the number of customers who paid with cash) as a fraction over the total, 249.

54/249

So the probability that customers will pay cash is 54/249 or 18/83

3(x - 2) + 48 = -3x
kow [346]

Answer: X=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS;

Step 1: Distribute the "3" in the part of the equation "3(x-2)"

3x - 6

Step 2: Consider the equation as a whole with the newly part of the equation from step 1, as it is a part of the equation

Therefore, re-written as,

3x - 6 + 48 = -3x

Step 3: Evaluate the re-written equation

Using basic mathematics skills, we can evaluate the following,

3x - 6 + 48 = -3x ➡ -6 + 48 = -6x ➡ 42 = -6x ➡ -7 = x

As shown, the answer is x=-7.
