Answer:

x=  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4

5x-2(x+1)=1/4
5x-2x-2=1/4
3x-2=1/4
3x=2 1/4
3x=9/4
3x/3=(9/4)/3
x=(9/4)(1/3)
x=9/12
x=3/4

A garden has 8 white roses and 11 red roses. One rose is plucked from the garden and then one more rose is plucked without repla
liberstina [14]
P(r/w) is the probability of picking a red rose at first picking and a white rose at second picking.
P(w/r) is the probability of picking a white rose at first picking and a red rose at second picking.

P(r/w) = \frac{11}{19}×\frac{8}{18} = \frac{88}{342}
P(w/r) = \frac{8}{19}×\frac{11}{18}=\frac{88}{342}

Notice that the second fraction is out of 18 because the second picking of rose will be out of 18 since the first rose is not replaced.

P(r/w) equals to P(w/r)
