12 possible outcomes
any number less than 9 is 8 and below
8 sides of the dice are less than 9 out of 12 total sides
8/12 is the chance you’ll roll lower than 9
2/3 or 66% chance you’ll roll a number lower than 9
n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers
the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]
twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12
The equation:
2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12
2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12
2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12 <em>use distributive property</em>
(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12
4n + 12 = 6n - 12 <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>
4n = 6n - 24 <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>
-2n = -24 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
n = 12
n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>
35
the ratio for the two is 5:7 and you want to find _:49. to get from 7 to 49 you multiply the 7 by 7. because you did that to one side you have to do the same to the other and multiply 5 by 7 which gives you 35
