Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-3=5x-7
-1x-3=-7 Subtract the 5x on both sides
-1x=-4 Add the -3 to the -7
x=4
Answer:
1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Possible outcomes when rolling a fair die = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (i.e 6 possible outcomes)
Possible outcomes when rolling an even number = 2, 4, 6 (i.e 3 possible outcomes)
Hence P (rolling even number on 1 roll) = 3 / 6 = 1/2
P (Rolling 4 even numbers on 4 rolls) = (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/16
Answer:
1. x= -7
2. y= -3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 
This is the same as writing (n-m)/n
Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.
==================================================
Explanation:
The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.
For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.
The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.
We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".
Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps

and now the expression is one single fraction.
