Hi there!

The first correct step for solving the equation will be to get rid of the parentheses, and it will be like so,

-5(4x - 7)

Divide -5 on both 4x and -7, you will get, -20x + 35.

Hope this helped!~

An engineering firm is hired to determine if certain waterways in Virginia are safe for fishing. Samples
Natalija [7]

Answer:

(a) S = {FFF, FFN, FNN, FNF, NNN, NNF, NFF, NFN}

(b) S(E) = {FFF, FFN, FNF, NFF}

(c) Second river is safe for fishing

Step-by-step explanation:

F = safe to fish

N = not safe to fish

number of rivers sampled = 3

(a) All of the possible outcomes obtained from the samples are listed in the sample space bellow:

S = {FFF, FFN, FNN, FNF, NNN, NNF, NFF, NFN}

(b) If at least two rivers are safe, the sample space for E is all of the events with two or three safe rivers:

S(E) = {FFF, FFN, FNF, NFF}

(c) In the set {FFF, NFF, FFN, NFN}, the second lake sample is safe to fish in all of the elements. The event is: second river is safe for fishing.
