Answer:
We can see that this is dependent probability. We can find dependent probability of happening event A then event B by multiplying probability of event A by probability of event B given that event A already happened.
Step-by-step explanation:
In our case event A is pirate hitting captain's ship and event B is captain missing pirate's ship. We have been given that pirate shoots first so pirate's ship can't be hit before pirate shoots his cannons. So probability of hitting captain's ship is 1/3. We have been given that if Captain Ben's ship is already hit then Captain Ben will always miss. So the probability of Captain missing the dread pirate's ship given the pirate Luis hitting the Captain ship is 1. Now to find probability that pirate hits Captain, but Captain misses we will multiply our both probabilities.
X(5x-2) thats how you factor
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expression:
The first thing we want to do, is to have the same denominator in both equations, then we need to multiply the first term by (2/2), so the denominator becomes 4*x
We will get:
Now we can directly add the terms to get:
We can't simplify this anymore
