5 1/4 - 2 2/3
first you find the LCM, so u can make both fractions have a like denominator. I'm thinking the LCM is 12, so:
(5 3/12) - (2 8/12)
= 63/12 - 32/12
=31/12
= 2 and 7/12
5 1/4 - 2 2/3 = 2 7/12
"of" means multiply and "is" means equal
1.
x = 14
x = 14(3) <em>multiply both sides by 3 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 42
2.
x = 14
x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 70
3.
x = 14
2x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 </em>
2x = 70
x = 35 <em>divide both sides by 2 to isolate "x"</em>
4.
x = 14
7x = 14(8) <em>multiply both sides by 8 </em>
7x = 112
x = 16 <em>divide both sides by 7 to isolate "x"</em>
Answers: 42, 70, 35, 16
Simplify both sides if needed. The left-hand side needs simplification.
4(x - 6)

-2x + 6
4x - 24

-2x + 6
All is left to do is add and subtract to get the x variable all alone.
4x - 24

-2x + 6
6x - 24

6 <-- Add 2x to both sides
6x

30 <-- Add 24 to both sides
x

5 <-- Divide both sides by 6
In order to be in the solution set, x has to be less than or equal to 5.
In interval notation: [5, -∞)
You only need to consider the situations where 10 or 11 of the babies are girls, then subtract those probabilities from 1. This will give probability that any other number up to 9 of the babies are girls.
Use binomial theorem.

n = 11
k = 10,11
p = 1/2
