Answer: Option D

Their sum is always zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Given any number x, the additive inverse of x is -x.

For example, the additive inverse of 3 is - 3, the additive inverse of 2.2 is -2.2.

In this way, note that adding a number with the additive inverse of this number will always result in the number zero.

x + (-x) = 0

Therefore, the correct option is option D

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of a number is the same number with the negative sign

i.e. if we have a number 1 then it's additive inverse would be -1

So if we add both the number and its additive inverse the answer would be zero.

1+(-1) = 0

So, Option D their sum is always zero is correct.

What is the value of x that makes the given equation true?​ 2(x−8)=x+5x​
bixtya [17]

Simplify the right hand side:

2(x-8)=6x

Expand the left hand side:

2x-16=6x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-16=4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x=-4

Calculate the probability of needing at least 5 tosses of an unbiased coin to land a head.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a fair coin the probability of landing a head is 50%.

We can think the question as what is the probability of landing four tails and then a head. That is we needed at least 5 tries to get a head.

Prob \{ T,T,T,T,H\}

Since this events are independent we can write it as

Prob \{ T\} \times Prob \{ T\} \times Prob \{ T\} \times Prob \{ T\} \times Prob \{ H\} =.5^5= 0.03125
