Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x/4 = 12/6

Hint: | Reduce 12/6 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 12 and 6.

The gcd of 12 and 6 is 6, so 12/6 = (6×2)/(6×1) = 6/6×2 = 2:

x/4 = 2

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides of x/4 = 2 by 4:

(4 x)/4 = 4×2

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (4 x)/4.

(4 x)/4 = 4/4×x = x:

x = 4×2

Hint: | Multiply 4 and 2 together.

4×2 = 8:

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7x+6}{2}\leq 3x+2 < ==multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\2(\frac{7x+6}{2}\leq 3x+2)\\\\7x+6\leq6x+4 < ==subtract\ -6x\ from\ both\ sides\ \\-6x \ \ -6x\\\\x+6\leq4 < ==subtract\ 6\ from\ both\ sides\\-6 \ \ \ -6\\\\x\leq-2 < ==answer\ should\ be\ anything\ less\ than\ or\ equal\ to\ -2$

Now, look at your answer choices, which options are less than or equal to -2?

x ≤ -2, Check your answers:

A. -3 ≤ -2?

This statement is correct (-3 is < -2)

B. -2 ≤ -2 <== our original answer

This statement is correct (-2 is = to -2)

C. -1 ≤ -2

This statement is incorrect (-1 is > -2, not ≤ -2)

D. 0 ≤ -2

This statement is incorrect (0 is > -2, not ≤ -2)

E. 1 < -2

This statement is incorrect (1 is > -2, not ≤ -2)

Therefore, the correct options are A and B

Hope this helps!

Tim has two spinners , spinnerA and spinner B. Each spinner can only land on red or blue . The probability that spinner A will l

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Spinner A

Probability of red = 0.5,
Probability of blue = 0.5

Spinner B

Probability of red = 0.6,
Probability of blue = 0.4

Probability of both A and B land on red:

0.5*0.6= 0.3

Number of attempts to get outcome of 84 red on both spinners is:

84/0.3= 260

Probability of both spinners land on blue:

0.5*0.4= 0.2

Estimated number of both spinners land on blue:

260*0.2= 52
