To solve equations, you want to isolate the X. So, the first step will be to distribute that 4 into the 2x + 1.
4 x 2 = 8
4 x 1 = 4 So we have 4(2x+1) = 8x+4. When we plug this into the equation, that gets us 8x + 4 - 2x = -8. Next, let's combine like terms now that we've distributed everything out. 8x - 2x = 6x. Now we have
6x + 4 = -8. Next, we subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the X; 6x = -8 - 4. -8 - 4 = -12. So now we have 6x = -12. The final step to isolating the X is to divide both sides by 6; 6/6 = 1, and -12/6 = -2. Our final answer is X = -2.
It should be 11. hope this helps :)
Part A:
A component is one voter's vote. An outcome is a vote in favour of our candidate.
Since there are 100 voters, we can stimulate the component by using two randon digits from 00 - 99, where the digits 00 - 54 represents a vote for our candidate and the digits 55 - 99 represents a vote for the underdog.
Part B:
A trial is 100 votes. We can stimulate the trial by randomly picking 100 two-digits numbers from 00 - 99. Whoever gets the majority of the votes wins the trial.
Part C:
The response variable is whether the underdog wants to win or not. To calculate the experimental probability, divide the number of trials in which the simulated underdog wins by the total number of trials.
