3( x - 1 ) = 2 x + 5

Expand 3(x-1) :

3*x - 3 x 1

3 x - 3 = 2 x + 5

Add 3 both sides :

3 x - 3 + 3 = 2 x + 5 + 3

3 x = 2 x + 8

3x - 2 x = 8

x = 8

hope this helps!

Which statement best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have

laila [671]

Randomly generate an integer from 1 to 7 two times, and the probability is 1/7 ^2

This is the statement that best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have their birthdays on a Monday.

There are 7 days in a week, so there are 7 choices but only 1 Monday. So, 1/7 is the probability that a person's birthday falls on a Monday.

1st person asked will have 1/7 probability.
2nd person asked will also have 1/7 probability

So, (1/7)² is the probability that both persons will have their birthdays on a Monday.
