Divide by least common factor which is 5
First you add like terms which means you add all the x's together and all the constants.
3x -5 =55 (Remember that 8 has a negative sign in front which brings that sign with it when combinding like terms)
Then you isolate the variable by adding 5 on both sides.
3x = 60.
Finally you divide by 3 on both sides to get x=20
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 10x to both sides:
-10x - 135 = 117 + 2x
-10x - 135 + 10x = 117 + 2x + 10x
-135 = 117 + 12x
Subtract 117 from both sides:
-135 - 117 = 117 + 12x - 117
-252 = 12x
Divide both sides by 12:

-21 = x
So the answer is C.
Hope this helps!
We should first calculate the average number of checks he wrote
per day. To do that, divide 169 by 365 (the number of days in a year) and you get (rounded) 0.463. This will be λ in our Poisson distribution. Our formula is

. We want to evaluate this formula for X≥1, so first we must evaluate our case at k=0.

To find P(X≥1), we find 1-P(X<1). Since the author cannot write a negative number of checks, this means we are finding 1-P(X=0). Therefore we have 1-0.3706=0.6294.
There is a 63% chance that the author will write a check on any given day in the year.<em />
