-3(x+4)=-15

mutiply the bracket by -3

(-3)(x)= -3x

(-3)(4)=-12

-3x-12= -15

move -12 to the other side

sign changes from -12 to +12

-3x-12+12= -15+12

-3x= -15+12

-3x= -3

divide both sides by -3

to get + x and by itself

-3x/-3= -3/-3

Answer:

x= 1

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

A box contains 12 balls numbered 1 through 12.

Also the ball are drawn without replacement.

a)

The probability that the first ball had a smaller number on​ it.

i.e. the number on the first ball could be: {1,2,3}

Hence, the probability  that the first ball had a smaller number on​ it is:

              \dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25

b)

The probability that the first ball has a even number on it is:

There are total 6 even numbers {2,4,6,8,10,12}

but 4 can't be considered as it comes on the second draw, so we are left with just 5 balls with even number.

Hence, the probability is:

\dfrac{5}{12}=0.4166

Answer-44


You can turn both of the denominators ( bottom numbers on the fractions ) into 120 ( the whole number ) and the top numbers can be multiplied by how many times the denominators went into 120. Then add the top numbers which equals 76 and then 120-76=44. Hope that kinda helps !!

xxTIMURxx [149]

FOIL is an ancronym to help you remember to multiply each term. basically it's for people who can't distribute good


anwya


FOIL stands tells you which terms to mulitply, you then add the results up

F=First terms

O=Outer terms
I=Inner terms

L=Last terms



so

(x-2)(x-3)

First: x times x = x^2

Outer: x times -3=-3x

Inner: -2 times x=-2x

Last: -2 times -3=6


now add them all up

x^2-3x-2x+6=x^2-5x+6



answer is the second option
