Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that that question is meant to read:

________________________________________________

" 5 times a number increased by 18 is the same as 36 more than 4 times the number.  Find the number ".

_______________________________________________

Let the variable "x" (i.e. the lower-case letter ex]—represent the unknown number—for which we are asked to solve.

If the question/problem is meant to read:

_________________________________

 "  5 times a number increased by 18 is the same as 36 more than 4 times the number.  Find the number ".

_________________________________

Then, treat the problem as:

_________________________________

  " 5 times [a number increased by 18] " ; {is the same as}:  " 36 more than [4 times the number]".  Find the number ".

_________________________________

Note that:  " {is the same as:}" ;  means:  "equals:} ;

So:  "...[a number; that is, an unknown number; that is, "x" ;  increased by "18" ]" ;  would be represented by:  "[x + 18]" .

5 times that value would be represented as:

  →  5* (x + 18) ;   or:   "  5(x + 18) " .

Then we add the:  " = " ["equals"] sign:

_________________________________

Then, we consider:  "... 36 more than [4 times the number]" .

    4 times the [unknown number]:  would be written as:

         →  " 4 * x " ;   or simply:  " 4x " .

→  "36 more than this [the above value; i.e. "4x" ;  would be represented by adding "36" to said value; as follows:

          →  " 4x + 36 " ;

_________________________________________

Now we can:

  1)  Write our expression as an equation;  and then:

  2)  Solve for the value for "x" ; our unknown number.

___________________________________________

 Here is the expression, as an equation:

________________________________________

  →  5(x + 18) =  4x + 36 ;

Now, solve for "x" ;

_________________________________________

Start with the "left-hand side" of the equation:

          →  5(x + 18) ;

Let us expand this expression.

___________________________________

Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:

   →  a(b+c) = ab + ac .

___________________________________

As such:  " 5(x + 18) = (5 * x)  +  (5 * 18) "  = 5x +120 .

Now, rewrite the equation:

  →  5x + 120 = 4x + 36 ;

Let us subtract "36" from each side of the equation; & subtract "4x" from each side of the equation:

                       →  5x + 120  =     4x  +  36 ;

                         - 4x   -  36  =   - 4x  -  36

                      ________________________

         to get:        1x +  54  =      10 ;

________________________________________

Rewrite as:      " x + 54 = 10 "  ;

→  {Since:  "1x = x " ;  

        → {since:  (" 1 * [any numerical value] = that same numerical value"};

        Note that this refers to the "identity property of multiplication."

___________________________________________

  →  

_________________________________________

 → We have:   " x + 54 = 10 " ;  Solve for "x" ;

Subtract "54" from Each Side of the equation;

 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

       →  " x + 54 - 54 = 10 - 54 " ;

 to get:  " x = -44 " .

_______________________________

Answer:  The number is " - 44 " .

_______________________________

Let us substitute this value into our equation;  to check our work:

→  5(x + 18) =  4x + 36 ;

→  5(-44 + 18) ≟ 4(-44) + 35 ??  ;

→  5(-26) ≟ -176 + 35 ?? ;

→  -130   ≟ -176 + 35

Hello can you please help me posted picture of question
MAXImum [283]
The answer is Letter C - 1/2,775

The probability of choosing one of them is 2 out of 75 while the probability of choosing the other one is 1 out of 74. 74 band members, not counting the other person (you or your bother).
 
Computation:
P = 2 / 75 * 1 / 74
   = 0.0266... * 0.01351...
   = 1 / 2,775
You can also multiply 75 with 74 to get a total of 5,550 then divide it by 2 students to be selected to get 2,775. Meaning one out of 2,775 possibilities.
