8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
Answer:
And the probability that the first die shows an odd number is 1/2, as is the probability that the second does. Since the dice fall independently, P(both are odd) = P(first is odd)*P(second is odd) = (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4. Therefore P(at least one is even) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.
The answer would be B. because a unit rate is usually equal to one for the sake of conversion
Answer:
1/2 most likely everyone says "half" instead on "point five"
