Answer:

P=\dfrac{1}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the names of 4 players start with letters A, B, C and D.

There is the the only chance that they shoot free throws in alphabetical​ order (ABCD).

Count how many different ways are to choose 4 letters from the hat. First letter can be chosen in 4 ways, the second letter can be chosen in 3 ways (only 3 letters left), the third letter can be chosen in 2 ways (only 2 letters left) and the fourth letter can be chosen in 1 way (the last letter left). So, there are

4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1=24

different orders.

The probability is

P=\dfrac{1}{24}

Solve for x, show all of your work: -2x – 4 &lt; 10
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>-2x – 4 < 10
add 4 to both sides
-2x - 4 + 4 < 10 + 4
simplify
-2x < 14
divide both sides by -2
-2x/-2 < 14/-2
simplify
x < -7</span>
