How to factor out tue coefficient of the variable

1 answer:

7 0

Lets say you have a question such as 7x+1=15.

First you have to start with the addition or subtraction because of PEMDAS. In order to get rid of the +1, you have to subtract 1 from it and do the same thing to the number on the other side of the equal sign.
7x+1-1=15-1
Which leaves you with
7x=14
What you want to do is get the variable by itself so, since the variable is basically multiplying itself by the coefficient, you want to divide the 7x by 7 to get rid of the coefficient. Make sure to do the same for both sides of the equation!
7x/7=14/7

x=2

Thats the answer.
Hopefully you can figure this out on your own problem.

Answer:

$P(\overline W)=0.98957$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of drivers Screened = 671

Number Arrested for Driving While Intoxicating = 7

If the W denotes the event of screening a driver and getting someone who is intoxicated.

The Probability of W, $P(W)=\frac{7}{671}=0.01043$

The Probability $P(\overline W)$ is the probability of the event of screening a driver and getting someone who is not intoxicated. Simply put, it is the Probability of the Complement of W.
