For this case we have the following equation:
We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:
We simplify the left side of the equation:
Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
On the right side we must take into account that:
So:
We add x to both sides of the equation:
We subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:
We divide by 8 on both sides of the equation:
Thus, the solution of the equation is:
Answer:
The school can expect to raise 1500p for charity.
<u>Explanation:</u>
(a)
The possibility space is solved in the image attached.
(b)
20p for each player
30p for lollipop
Number of people = 120
Charity amount = ?
Out of 12 outcomes, the probability of getting 7 is 3
So, probability of getting 7 for 120 people =
= 30
Money earned from the players = 20p X 120
= 2400p
Cost of 30 lollipops = 30p X 30
= 900p
Money received for charity = 2400p - 900p
= 1500p
Therefore, the school can expect to raise 1500p for charity.
