So first you take the words and put them into an equation. "a number" that never gets directly told to you will always be a variable, which is easiest to make X. "The sum of a number and 8" will mean that 8+something is the sum so they have to go in parenthesis... giving you
4/3*(x+8)=24
now just solve for X, remembering to use the reverse of PEMDAS, since you're solving for the variable.
remove what is furthest away to the X first.
x+8=24*3/4
x+8=18
x=18-8
x=10
Now, remember to always go through and replace your variable with its value and solve. if it is not equal on both sides, retry the problem because you may have missed a small +, -, or * somewhere!
Hope this helped:)
Answer:
4v-6.3w+9.8
Step-by-step explanation:
If you distribute the negative sign (same as distributing -1), then you get -(-4v) + (-6.3w) - (-(9.8))
Basically it's switching the signs
Hope that helped :)
Diana had chocolate, and ate some, leaving 0.75 of it for Sarah.
Sarah ate 18.5 grams of it and return the rest to Diana, which was 65% of the original chococate.
How much chocolate did Diana have at the beginning?
and the solution is:
0.75x-18.50=0.65x
0.75x-0.65x=18.500.1x=18.50x=185
So Diana had 185 grams of chocolate. Hoped that helped!!!

To calculate expected value,
We can add up the probability of all possible events.
The 2 possible events are either winning $50 or losing the prize, which is $ - 50
Expected value =
50 x 40 % + (-50) x 60%
= $-10
So the answer is $-10
