Answer:
probability=events over the sample space
7x - 1 + 6x - 1 = 180
add the x’s, add the numbers
13x - 2 = 180
add 2 to 180
13x = 182
divide 182 by 13
x = 14
In this problem, since we are trying to find Sam's monthly net income, we just need to multiply his weekly net income (which is after all the deductions come out) by how many times he gets paid! Because he gets paid 4 times, we just need to multiply $654.48 by 4! The you should get an answer of $2617.92, which is Sam's monthly net income!
Answer: Choice A) Add 3.8 to both sides of the equation
Explanation:
If we knew the value of w, then we would replace it and apply PEMDAS.
However, we don't know the value of w, so we undo each step of PEMDAS going backwards.
We start with the "S" of PEMDAS, and undo the subtraction. To undo subtraction, you apply addition. To undo that "minus 3.8" we add 3.8 to both sides.
