When solving an equation why do you apply the inverse on the given operation to both sides

You can do anything you want to one side of an equation.
You'll usually apply an inverse operation to make the side
simpler, for example to get rid of the 'x', or to get rid of the
fractions on that side.

But when you do something to one side of the equation,
you MUST do exactly the same thing to the other side too.
If you don't, then you have changed the equation to a
different one, and the solution to the one you have now
is not the solution to the original one.

Very simple example:

Solve the equation            2x = 2

Correct solution:
Divide each side by  2 :      x = 1

Incorrect solution:
Divide the left side by  2 :    x = 2

From a bag containing 5 nickels, 8 dimes, and 7 quarters, 5 coins are drawn at random and all at once. What is the probability o
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

0.13

Step-by-step explanation:

From a bag containing 5 nickels, 8 dimes, and 7 quarters, 5 coins are drawn at random and all at once

we need to select 2 nickels from 5 nickels and select 2 dimes from 8 dimes and 1 quarter from 7 quarters

There are total of 5+8+7=20 coins

select 5 coins from total of 20 coins

2 nickels can be selected from 5 nickels in 5C2 ways

5C2=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} =\frac{5!}{2!(3!)!}=10

2 dimes selected from 8 dimes

8C2=\frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!} =\frac{6!}{2!(6!)}=28

1 quarter selected from 7 quarter

7C1=\frac{7!}{1!(7-1)!} =\frac{7!}{1!(6!)}=7

5 coins selected from 20 coins

20C5=\frac{20!}{5!(15)!} =15504

probability of getting 2 nickels, 2 dimes, and 1 quarter

\frac{10 \cdot 28 \cdot 7}{15504} =\frac{1960}{15504} =0.13
