In a game of rock paper scissors, what are the chances that someone playing against a person playing only paper would win?

As for the answer, if you were to make a chart to show rock, paper, and scissors, you'd be able to see that there's a 2/3 chance of winning by choosing rock. With scissors, there's also a 2/3 chance to win. Now with paper, there's only a 1/3 chance to win. Knowing that the other person will only play paper, the best answers would be to choose either rock or scissors.

(there are, of course, flaws with this concept, because the opponent could be lying about playing only paper. More or less, it's a good design to show probability.)

5. (01.07)<br> Solve 3x - x + 2 = 12. (1 point)

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. First, combine like terms:

3x - x + 2 = 12

(3x - x) + 2 = 12

(2x) + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

& is your order of operation.

First, subtract 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (10)/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Check: Plug in 5 for x in the equation. Solve:

3(5) - (5) + 2 = 12

15 - 5 + 2 = 12

10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12 (True)
