Answer:

\frac{11}{42} or 26.19%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the range of possible numbers is between 12 and 54 then that means that there are 42 (54 - 12) possible numbers that can be made. In this range, there are 11 prime numbers which are the following...

13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53

Therefore, the probability that the number formed is a prime would be \frac{11}{42} which if we divide and multiply the decimal by 100 we get the probability in percentage form.

\frac{11}{42} = 0.2619

0.2619 * 100 = 26.19%

Finally, we can see that the probability of this happening is 26.19%

Solve for x 26=3x+2x-9
umka2103 [35]
Combine like terms on the right side:

3x + 2x = 5x
26 = 5x - 9

Add 9 to both sides:

35 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself:

x = 7

The value of x is 7.
