Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make an equation that meets the requirements stated.

Decreased signifies subtraction, so 12 will reduce the value after it. A number can be any letter you'd like, but I'll stick to x. Since 2 is multiplying <em>that</em> number, we can make 2 the coefficient. Finally, set it equal to 8.

12 - 2x = 8 Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

-2x = -4 Divide by -2 on both sides of the equation.

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcoes.

Desired outcomes:

Giving births to quadruplets.

She has 4 sets of quadruplets.

So $D = 4$

Total outcomes:

At least 3 children(triplets).

7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets.

So $T = 7 + 4 = 11$

Probability:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{4}{11} = 0.3636$

36.36% probability that she gave birth to quadruplets
