-16=-3(7a+8)

multiply the bracket by -3

(-3)(7)=-21

(-3)(80=-24

-16=-21a-24

move -24 to the other side

sign changes from -24 to +24

-16+24=-21a-24+24

8=-21a

divide both sides by -21 to get a by itself

8/-21=-21a/-21

answer:

a=-8/21

Andy randomly selects an outfit to go to school. He can choose from 4 shirts: blue stripes, red stripes, black or white stripes.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that Andy chooses a striped shirt and a pair of blue shorts is:

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$

The probability that Andy chooses a striped shirt and pair of tan or plaid shorts is:

$\frac{3}{4} * (\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}) = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$
