Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer:
x=10
y=-2
(10,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
If X=10, we can put 10 in for x in the equation.
30 + 5y = 20
Next, we need to solve to find y.
We will get y on its own so we subtract 30 from 20 to get
5y=-10
We then know that 5 goes into -10 -2 times.
y=-2

What's the sample space? Are we talking about rolling a die or what?
Anyway, if we call the probability 
, then 
So, the expression becomes
