Answer:
-(x+2)/(x+8)
Step-by-step explanation:
( x^2 -x-6)
------------------
24 - 5x -x^2
Factor out a minus sign from the denominator
( x^2 -x-6)
------------------
-( x^2 +5x -24)
Factor the numerators and the denominators
( x-3) (x+2)
------------------
-( x+8)(x-3)
Cancel like terms
x+2
------------------
-(x+8)
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so this will be a compound probability question because there are two parts to the question.
Firstly, a die has 6 sides, and there is only one chance of getting a 1, so the probability would be 1/6.
Furthermore, there are 3 different even numbers on a 6-sided die, so that is 3/6, which can be simplified to 1/2.
Now, because this is a compound probability, we have to multiply 1/2 and 1/6 together, which would give us our answer of 1/12.
