Solve 3(2x - 8) = 12​

Mathematics
1 answer:
spayn [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3(2x + -8) = 12

Reorder the terms:

3(-8 + 2x) = 12

(-8 * 3 + 2x * 3) = 12

(-24 + 6x) = 12

Solving

-24 + 6x = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '24' to each side of the equation.

-24 + 24 + 6x = 12 + 24

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0

0 + 6x = 12 + 24

6x = 12 + 24

Combine like terms: 12 + 24 = 36

6x = 36

Divide each side by '6'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6

Suppose that 5 cards are drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that all 5 are not black?
lions [1.4K]
Here's the way I see it:  5 cards are drawn, one by one, without replacement.  Half (or 26) of the original deck are black and half (26) are white.

P(5 are not black) = P(5 are red)

P(5 are not black) = P(first card is red) * P(second card is red) * P(third card is red)*P(fourth card is red)*P(fifth card is red) =

(26/52) * (25/51) * (24/50) * (23/49) * (22/48) = 0.025   (answer)

We start with 52 cards.  We draw one, leaving 51 cards, 25 of which are red.  And so on.
