To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

16x - 3(4x + 5) = 2x + 9          Distribute -3 into (4x + 5)

16x + (-3)4x + (-3)5 = 2x + 9

16x - 12x - 15 = 2x + 9         Combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), which are 16x - 12x, as they have the same variable "x" and a power/exponent of 1.

4x - 15 = 2x + 9        Subtract 2x on both sides

4x - 2x - 15 = 2x - 2x + 9

2x - 15 = 9     Add 15 on both sides

2x - 15 + 15 = 9 + 15

2x = 24          Divide 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{24}{2}

x = 12

Ronald spins a spinner that has 10 sections numbered from 1 to 10. What is the probability that the spinner lands on a prime num
vladimir1956 [14]
Prime number is a whole number that has no possible divisors that 1 and itself. Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5.7.11,13,17,19,23 and 29. From 1 to 10 there are 3 prime numbers: 3,5 and 7. 
The probability can be calculated as the ratio between the number of "good" events and the total number of possible events. There are three "good" events (3,5 or 7) and 10 total events, so the probability that the spinner lands on a prime number is: 3/10. So, none of the given options is true.
