Answer:

<em>3/40000</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Data:</em>

<em>Business 500 students</em>

<em>Laws 800 students</em>

<em>30 pairs of siblings, 1 in each school</em>

<em />

<em>It is required to calculate the probability that a random pair of siblings is chosen.</em>

<em />

<em>For this:</em>

<em>Business, of 500 students we have 30 siblings to choose one</em>

<em />

<em>30/500</em>

<em />

<em>Continue, choose the sibling's partner, Laws, of 800 only 1 is the sibling of the chosen in Business.</em>

<em />

<em>1/800</em>

<em />

<em>So we have:</em>

<em>(30/500) * (1/800) = 30/400000 = 3/40000</em>

<em />

<em>You can choose in reverse, first Laws and then Business, leaving:</em>

<em>(30/800) * (1/500)= 30/400000 = 3/40000</em>

<em />

<em>And it gives the same result: 3/40000</em>

What is the ultimate goal when solving equations? What do you want your final answer to look like?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use x.

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation 5x+5=20. Our goal is to find the value of x. <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

5x=15\\\\x=3

We now know the value of x since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!
