Answer:
7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
If the chances of an outcome are 2/9, the odds against it can be found by subtracting that from 1.
1 - 2/9
= 7/9
So, the odds against that outcome are 7/9
Answer:
<em>x = -10</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
(9/2)(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - (5/2)(3x + 24)
Multiply both sides by 2.
9(8 - x) + 2 * 36 = 2 * 102 - 5(3x + 24)
Distribute on both sides.
72 - 9x + 72 = 204 - 15x - 120
Combine like terms on each side.
144 - 9x = 84 - 15x
Subtract 144 from both sides. Add 15x to both sides.
6x = -60
Divide both sides by 6.
x = -10

Answer:
12 and 93.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the grandsons age be x then Mr. Roger's age = 8x - 3.
Five years ago the grandson's age was x-5 and Mr Rogers was 8x - 8 years old , so:
8x - 8 - (x - 5) = 81
8x - 8 - x + 5 = 81
7x = 81 + 8 - 5 = 84
x = 12.
So the grandson is 12 and Mt Rogers is 8*12 - 3 = 93.
