Let z = 3x+2. Then, by substitution, your equation is
.. z^2 +7z -8 = 0
_____
This equation can be factored as
.. (z +8)(z -1) = 0
.. x = -8 or +1
Then
.. 3x +2 = -8 or +1
.. 3x = -10 or -1
.. x = -10/3 or -1/3
60/96 = 0.625 , times that by 100 gives you the percentage of 62.5%
The answer to this question is 1.624
Answer:
6457 + 7925 = 14382
The fourth choice - 5/104.
In one cube, there are 3 even numbers - 2,4,6. For two cubes, the total probability is 36.
3*3 / 36 = 9/36
For letters, there are five vowels over 26 letters = 5 / 26
Multiply the two probabilities to get the probability of rolling two even numbers and selecting one of the vowels.
9/36 * 5/26 = 5/104
