P(8 or 12) = 1/6
P(not 8 or 12 = 5/6
Let the expected points fro one roll be X.
E(X)=9\times\frac{1}{6}-2\times\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{1}{6}\ points
The answer is -(1/6) points.

Suppose that the functions r and a are defined for all real numbers x as follows. r(x)=2x-1 S(x)=5x write the expressions for (r
NeTakaya

\boxed{(r-s)(x)=-3x-1} \\ \\ \boxed{(r\cdot s)(x)=10x^2-5x} \\ \\ \boxed{(r+s)(-2)=-15}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise, we have the following functions:

r(x)=2x-1 \\ \\ s(x)=5x

And they are defined for all real numbers x. So we have to write the following expressions:

First expression:

(r-s)(x)

That is, we subtract s(x) from r(x):

(r-s)(x)=2x-1-5x \\ \\ Combine \ like \ terms: \\ \\ (r-s)(x)=(2x-5x)-1 \\ \\ \boxed{(r-s)(x)=-3x-1}

Second expression:

(r\cdot s)(x)

That is, we get the product of s(x) and r(x):

(r\cdot s)(x)=(2x-1)(5x) \\ \\ By \ distributive \ property: \\ \\ (r\cdot s)(x)=(2x)(5x)-(1)(5x) \\ \\ \boxed{(r\cdot s)(x)=10x^2-5x}

Third expression:

Here we need to evaluate:

(r+s)(-2)

First of all, we find the sum of functions r(x) and s(x):

(r+s)(x)=2x-1+5x \\ \\ Combine \ like \ terms: \\ \\ (r+s)(x)=(2x+5x)-1 \\ \\ (r+s)(x)=7x-1

Finally, substituting x = -2:

(r+s)(-2)=7(-2)-1 \\ \\ (r+s)(-2)=-14-1 \\ \\ \boxed{(r+s)(-2)=-15}

A 25% discount means u paid 75%
75% of the original price is 18...
0.75x = 18.....with x being the original price
x = 18 / 0.75
x = 24 <== the original price
