Answer:

There is no difference. 4x and x4 are both meaning 4 times x and x times 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = 2, then 4 x 2 = 8.

x4 is the same thing

2 x 4 = 8

Note:

When the numbers are there together, without an operation, it means multiplication.

8n−7y−12n+5−3y

=8n+−7y+−12n+5+−3y

Combine Like Terms:

=8n+−7y+−12n+5+−3y

=(8n+−12n)+(−7y+−3y)+(5)

=−4n+−10y+5

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1, 1.5) and (0.5, 0.5)

Step2247 [10]

The slope-point formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have:

$(-1,\ 1.5)\to x_1=-1,\ y_1=1.5\\(0.5,\ 0.5)\to x_2=0.5,\ y_2=0.5$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{0.5-1.5}{0.5-(-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{1.5}=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}(x-(-1))\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-\dfrac{3}{2}=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\ \ \ |+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2\cdot2}{3\cdot2}+\dfrac{3\cdot3}{2\cdot3}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{9}{6}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{5}{6}$

First find the numbers that are divisible by 3.
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
There are 8 numbers divisible by 3 so there are 16 that are not divisible by 3.
P(not div by 3) = 16/24 = 2/3
