A student solves the equation StartFraction x + 3 Over 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 x + 5 Over 5 EndFraction using the steps
1 answer:
using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is:
One method to solve this equation is cross-multiplication which the student has used.
One of the alternate method can be multiplying both sides by the LCM of numerators of fractions on both sides
So multiplying both sides by 10 (multiplication property of equality)
The alternate method of LCM produces the same answer so the correct answer is:
using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10

Step-by-step explanation:
The die is rigged, so "not 3" is not a possibility. Ruling out those branches of the tree, there are 4 possible outcomes, one of which is the desired outcome. So the probability is 1/4.
A fair die has six sides that are equally likely, so the probability of rolling more than 2 is always 4/6. The outcome of the first roll does not effect the outcome of the second roll.
