Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's disect the problem. Three times a particular number plus fourteen equals 20. Let's make an equation, and replace the number with x.

<h2>3x + 14 = 20</h2><h3>The "3x" represents the 3 times the number,</h3><h3>the 14 represents the 14 added to make 20.</h3><h2>Let's solve the equation!</h2>

We'll first minus 14 from each side to balance the equation, but with the intention of isolating the variable, x.

We have almost successfully isolated the variable. To isolate the variable, we can divide by three on each side.

<h2>x = 2</h2><h2>The number is 2.</h2>

Draw one card at random from a standard deck of cards. the sample space s is the collection of the 52 cards. assume that the pro

The probability is a ratio of the possible events to the total events. The total is 52 cards, so the denominator is 52. The individual properties of the specific cards are the following:

Any face or number cards is 4/52, because there are 4 cards for each symbol. On the other hand, each symbol like heart, diamond, club or spade would each have a probability of 13/52 (counting numbers 2 to 10, Ace card, and the 3 face cards). Also, there are 26 each of red and black cards. Furthermore, the words 'or' and 'and' are hint words. When you see 'or', you have to add their individual probabilities. If you see the word 'and', you'll have to multiply them. With that said, the solution is as follows:

a.) P = 4/52 + 4/52 + 4/52 = 3/13
b.) P = (13/52 + 13/52 + 4/52)(26/52) = 15/52
c.) P = 13/52
d.) P = 13/52 + 13/52 + 13/52 = 3/4
