Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

-31+(-4x) = -5+(-5)(1+5x)

-31-4x = -5+(-5)+(-25x) : Adding a negative is the same as subtracting and I distributed the -5

-31 = -5 + -5 -21x : added 4x to both sides

-31 = -10 -21x : added -5 and -5

-21 = -21x : added 10 to both sides

x=1 : divided both sides by -21, division of 2 negatives is a positive

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote an event. The odds of the horse finishing second is 33 to 67.

From the information, the total outcomes of event A is:

$Total \ Outcomes, A=Favorable +Unfavorable\\\\=33+67\\\\=100$

Hence, there are 100 total outcomes. The probability of the horse finishing second is calculated as:

$p=\frac{n(A_f)}{n(A_u)}\\\\\\=p=\frac{33}{100}\\\\=0.33$

Hence, the probability of finishing second is 0.33

Last Option: "The division property is used to create step 4" is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$6(3x-4)-26 = 40$

Step 1: Distributive property

$18x-24-26 = 40\\$

Step 2: Simplifying

$18x-50 = 40$

Step 3: Addition Property of Equality

$18x-50+50 = 40+50\\18x = 90$

Step 4: Division Property of Equality

$\frac{18x}{18} = \frac{90}{18}\\x = 5$

Hence,
