For a given a event what is the result of dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes
galina1969 [7]
The number of successful outcomes can be represented by p while number of unsuccessful outcomes can be represented by q. In this case, the sum of p and q is equal to the sample space, regarded here as n. so, taking the quotient of the two:

p/q = p / n-q 

If these were expressed in probabilities:
p/q = p / 1- p

The quotient would be greater than 1.

2/3x = -5/2y + 2
2/3x + 5/2y = 2 (when one unknown goes over to the other side, it changes its sign - 5/2y was negative, but when it went to the left, it became positive)
now, you can multiply both sides by 6 (because it is GCF for denominators 3 and 2) to get rid of fractions
6*2/3x + 6*5/2y = 6*2
4x + 15y = 12

So the correct answer is A. 4x + 15y = 12
