1. When there are two events that need to happen, we must multiply the probability of each event happening.
Shawn losing to Mike: 5/8 chance
Shawn losing to Tim: 2/7 chance
5/8 × 2/7 = 10/56 = 5/28
There's a 5/28 chance of Shawn losing to Mike and Tim.
I don't know #2, sorry :/
Hope this helps!
Your diagram doesn't clearly define what values correspond to what, can you explain.
Answer: it is (-2) because rise over run
Answer:
2(2n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of books Theo has read
Then 4x = four times the number of books Theo has read.
And 4n - 2 = 2 less than four times the number of books Theo has read
But 4n -2 = the number of books Maya has read
Factor the expression
4n - 2 = 2(2n - 1)
The factored expression is 2(2n - 1).
