X/8 - 10 = x/3
bring the values with the variable on one side
x/3 - x/8 = 10
find a common denominator and subtract these fractions
8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10
now subtract fractions
8x - 3x = 5x
5x/24 = -10
multiply both sides by 24
5x = -240
divide both sides by 5
x = -48
the number is -48
98 - 14x + 1
-14x + (98 + 1)
-14x + 99
Answer: -14x + 99.
Answer:
2/29
Step-by-step explanation:
If 9 play none, of the 29 students, 29-9 =20 play at least one. If 14 play basketball, then 20-14 = 6 play only baseball. Since 8 play baseball, there must be 8-6 = 2 who play both baseball and basketball.
Choosing at random, the probability is 2/29 that a student will be chosen who plays both sports.
