Steps to solve:

5(x + 1) = 20

~Distributive property

5x + 5 = 20

~Subtract 5 to both sides

5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5

~Simplify

5x = 15

~Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = 15/5

~Simplify

x = 3

Best of Luck!

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>x,</em> our first step is to distribute the 5 through the parentheses on the left side.

5 times <em>x</em> is 5x and 5 times 1 is 5.

So we have 5x + 5 = 20.

Next, we need to isolate the <em>x</em> term by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation to get 5x = 15.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get <em>x = 3 </em>which is the solution to our equation.

It's very easy to make careless mistakes when using the distributive property so make sure to check your answer.

In this problem, to check our answer, we substitute 3 back in for <em>x</em> in the original equation and we have 3 + 1 which is 4 and 5 x 4 which is 20 so our answer checks.

Is the following relation a function. <br><br> A) yes<br> B) no
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a function in which for each input there is only one output.

In a relation, y is a function of x.

Now we look at the mapping

For input 6, -1 is the output

for input -1, 2 is the output

for input 4, 3 is the output

for input 0, 3 is the output

For each input , there is an output. Input is not repeating. Input is occurring only once.

So this relation is a function.

Greg has four different colored cards in a box. Yellow, red, blue, and green. He randomly selects one card, records the color, a
Veronika [31]

Answer:

He should expect to select 75 yellow cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is replacement, for each trial, we have:

1 yellow card

1 red card

1 blue card

1 green card.

If Greg does this 300 times, how many yellow cards should he expect to select?

Each trial, there are 4 cards, one of which is yellow. So 1/4 = 0.25 probability of selecting a yellow card.

Over 300 trials

0.25*300 = 75

He should expect to select 75 yellow cards.
