Hi!
<h3>Let's do the first step (add 2x). </h3>
5 + 3x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9
<em>5 + 5x = 9</em>
<h3>Our goal is to isolate x on one side, so the next step would be to subtract 5 (or add -5).</h3>
5 + -5 + 5x = 9 + -5
<u><em>5x = 4</em></u>
<h2>The answer is B. add -5</h2><h3><em>And if you want to finish solving, you would divide by 5 on both sides.</em></h3>
5x/5 = 4/5
x = 0.8
Hope this helps! :)

One meaning of a 'linear' equation is that if you draw the graph
of the equation, the graph will be a straight line.
That's an easy way to test the equation . . . find 3 points on the
graph, and see whether they're all in a straight line.
This equation is y = 4 / x .
To find a point on the graph, just pick any number for 'x',
and figure out the value of 'y' that goes with it.
Do that 3 times, and you've got 3 points on the graph.
Here ... I'll do 3 quick points:
Point-A: x = 1 y = 4 / 1 = 4
Point-B: x = 2 y = 4 / 2 = 2
Point-C: x = 4 y = 4 / 4 = 1
Look at this:
Slope of the line from point-A to point-B
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -2 .
Slope of the line from point-B to point-C
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -1/2 .
The two pieces of line from A-B and from B-C don't even have
the same slope, so they're not pieces of the same straight line !
So my points A, B, and C are NOT in a straight line.
So the equation is NOT linear.
Try it again with three points of your own.
Answer:
a. Probability = 0.15
b. Probability = 0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given




Solving (a): Probability of being somewhere else
This is calculated by subtracting the sum of given probabilities from 1.



Solving (b): Probability of being in bedroom or kitchen
This is calculated as:



6/3 + 2/3 = (6 + 2)/3:
4 + 3/8 - (6 + 2)/3
6 + 2 = 8:
4 + 3/8 - 8/3
Put 4 + 3/8 - 8/3 over the common denominator 24. 4 + 3/8 - 8/3 = (24×4)/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24:
(24×4)/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24
24×4 = 96:
96/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24
3×3 = 9:
96/24 + 9/24 + (8 (-8))/24
8 (-8) = -64:
96/24 + 9/24 + (-64)/24
96/24 + 9/24 - 64/24 = (96 + 9 - 64)/24:
(96 + 9 - 64)/24
| 1 |
| 9 | 6
+ | | 9
1 | 0 | 5:
(105 - 64)/24
| 0 | 10 |
| 1 | 0 | 5
- | | 6 | 4
| 0 | 4 | 1:
