Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the equation. Add common terms together:

5x + 8 - 2 = - 14

5x + (8 - 2) = -14

5x + 6 = -14

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

...and is the order of operation in which you follow.

First, subtract 6 from both sides:

5x + 6 (-6) = -14 (-6)

5x = -14 - 6

5x = -20

Next, divide 5 from both sides:

(5x)/5 = (-20)/5

x = -20/5

x = -4

x = -4 is your answer.

Taka conducts an experiment where he rolls a number cube, with sides labeled from 1 to 6, and then flips a coin. This table show
sweet [91]
The experimental probability is 1/6, and the theoretical probability is 1/4. The theoretical probability is greater than the experimental probability in this trial.-------------------Explanation:
Theoretical probability is the mathematically calculated probability of the circumstances occurring. 
There is a 1/2 chance of rolling an even number, and a 1/2 chance of flipping a coin on heads.
Since the question asks for the possibility of both happening, multiply those together to find the probability:


The theoretical probability of rolling an even number and then flipping a head is 1/4.
Now we'll focus on Taka's trials.
Experimental probability is the probability that is taken from results of a trial.
Take the results, and see if they match the criteria of rolling an even number and flipping heads.
The results that are bolded fit the criteria:1 H, 4 T, 1 H, 5 T, 2 H, 3 T, 6 T, 2 H, 3 T, 5 T, 3 H, 4 T
Taka managed to roll and flip the coin to fit the criteria 2 times out of 12. Converted into a fraction, it is 2/12. Simplified, the experimental probability is 1/6

Black_prince [1.1K]

An appropriate cautious reading of a receipt entail making sure that the

items charged are the same as the items received and checking to see if all

of the discounts were applied properly,

When an item is bought, a receipt is usually issued which confirms that

payment has been made for the goods or services. Receipt however should

be properly checked to detect any error in the course of the transaction.

Making sure that the items charged are the same as the items received and

checking to see if all of the discounts were applied properly should be done

to avoid shortages of the resources of the parties involved.
