First step you should do is simplify both sides of your equation:
29-(x+8)=6x-7
Distribute the Negative Sign:
29+-1(x+8)=6x-7
29+-1x+(-1)(8)=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x+-7
Combine Like Terms:
(-x)+(29+-8)=6x-7
-x+21=6x-7
Subtract 6x from both sides:
-x+21-6x=6x-7-6x
-7x+21=-7
Subtract 21 from both sides:
-7x+21-21=-7-21
-7x=-28
Divide both sides by -7:
-7x/-7 = -28/-7
And now your answer should be:
x=4

4+2x = x (x = student in smaller group)

4 + 2x + x = 28 (total # of students)

x = 8
8 students in the smaller group
4 + 2(8) = 20 students in the larger group

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three is $\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Fred flips a coin, spins the spinner, and rolls a standard number cube.

To find : The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three ?

Solution :

First we find probability one by one,

1) Flips a coin - Head, Tail

Total number of outcome = 2

Favorable outcome (getting a tail) = 1

Probability that the coin will show tails is $P(T)=\frac{1}{2}$

2) Spins the spinner - yellow, green, blue

Total number of outcome = 3

Favorable outcome (land on yellow or green) = 2

Probability that the spinner will land on yellow or green $P(S)=\frac{2}{3}$

3) Rolls a standard number cube - 1,2,3,4,5,6

Total number of outcome = 6

Favorable outcome (show a three) = 1

Probability that the cube will show a three $P(C)=\frac{1}{6}$

The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three is

$P=P(T)+P(S)+P(C)$

$P=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}$

$P=\frac{3+4+1}{6}$

$P=\frac{8}{6}$

$P=\frac{4}{3}$

Therefore, The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three is $\frac{4}{3}$
