The quotient of two less than a number and five is eight

Mathematics
1 answer:
postnew [5]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The number is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number.

"two less than a number" is x - 2

Quotient means the result of a division.

(x - 2)/5 = 8

Multiply both sides by 5.

x - 2 = 40

Add 2 to both sides.

x = 42

Answer: The number is 42.

Check.

Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.

in a game involving a pair of fair dice a player rolls the dice until he gets a sum of 7 let z equal the number of rolls it take
Anarel [89]

Answer:

z = 36 rolls , probability for getting 7 = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A die has 6 possible outcomes, which sums to 36 for two dice for every value on both dice.

The outcomes for rolling both dice for 36 times gives 6 possible outcomes summing to 7, that is, (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), and (6, 1).

There the probability of getting a sum dice of 7 is:

= 6 / 36 = 1/6
