Let's solve your equation step by step
(3^2)(x)-5=81
step 1:simplify both sides of the equation
(3^2)(x)-5=81
simplify.
9x-5=81
step 2:Add 5 to both sides.
9x-5+5=81+5
9x=86
divide both sides by 9.
9x/9=86/9
x=86/9
Answer:86/9
Hope this helps!
1) you have to add all the rings together to find the denominator
6 + 11 + 15 + +3 = 35
2) the numerator is the amount of rings of the certain color you are trying to find the probability of
15
3) find the theoretical probability! 15/35
4) simplify
15/35 (divide both by 5) = 3/7
hope it helped :)
