Answer:

E.G=\$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size 52 card

Pay for J or Q =\$17

Pay for King or Ace =\$5

Pay for others =-\$2

Therefore

Probability of drawing J or Q

P(J&Q)=\frac{8}{52}

Probability or drawing King or Ace

P(K or A)=\frac{8}{52}

Probability or drawing Other cards

P(O)=\frac{36}{52}

Therefore

Expected Gain is mathematically given as

E.G=\sum_xP(x)

E.G=17*\frac{8}{52}+5*\frac{8}{52}+(-2)*\frac{36}{52}

E.G=\$2

Roman solved the equation 5a+2b=10 for a. His steps are shown below. 1. Subtract 2b: 5a+2b-2b=10-2b 2. Multiply by 5: 5a+10-2b W
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

In step 2, he needed to divide both sides of the equation by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

5a+2b=10

Solve for a------> That means isolate the variable "a"

step 1

Subtract 2b to both sides

5a+2b-2b=10-2b

5a=10-2b

step 2

Divide by 5 both sides

5a/5=(10-2b)/5

a=(10-2b)/5
