4/7 - x = 6/35 what is x? how do I determine the answer?

4/7 - x = 6/35

You're trying to get x by itself, so you have to subtract 4/7 from both sides.

-x = 6/35 - 4/7

You need both of the fractions to the right of the equal sign to have the same denominator so that we could simplify them, so multiply 5/5 to -4/7.

-4 /7 × 5/5 = -20/35

So, our new equation is :

-x = 6/35 - 20/35

Simplify.

-x = -14/35

Divide both sides by -1.

x = 14/35

Divide by 7.

x = 2/5

Taylor surveys students in one grade level who own at least one pet. She finds that 50% of the students surveyed own 2 pets, 3 s

First, we need to work out the total number of students who were being surveyed.

We know that half of the students has two pets. The rest of the students make up the other half. So, we have 3 students + 2 students + 8 students = 13 students that make half of the sample population

That means total number of students being surveyed is 13+13=26 students

Then we work out the probability
P(One pet) = 8/26 = 4/13
P(Two pets) = 1/2
P(Three pets) = 3/26
P( Four pets) = 2/26 = 1/13

The probability distribution is shown in the table below. Let $x$ be the number of pets and $P(X=x)$ is the probability of owning the number of pets

$\dfrac{1-\cos135^\circ}{\sin135^\circ}=\dfrac{1-\left(\cos^2 67.5^\circ-\sin^2 67.5^\circ\right)}{2\sin67.5^\circ\cos67.5^\circ}=\dfrac{1-\left(1-\sin^2 67.5^\circ-\sin^2 67.5^\circ\right)}{2\sin67.5^\circ\cos67.5^\circ}=\medskip\\=\dfrac{2\sin^2 67.5^\circ}{2\sin67.5^\circ\cos67.5^\circ}=\dfrac{\sin 67.5^\circ}{\cos 67.5^\circ}=\tan 67.5^\circ$
