Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property: a(b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

           2x - 4(x - 3) = -8 + 5x - 8

2x + x * (-4) - 3*(-4) = -8 + 5x - 8

          2x - 4x + 12  = -8 + 5x - 8    

   2x -  4x - 5x + 12 = -8 - 8

               -7x  + 12  = -16

                       -7x  = -16  -12

                      -7x   = -28

                          x = -28/-7

x = 4

In a game of chance, two pyramid-shaped, four-sided dice (with sides 1, 2, 3, 4). one colored red and the other colored green, a
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

0.25 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 possible outcomes for each die, which gives us 16 possible combinations (4 x 4). In order for the sum to exceed 5, the possible outcomes are:

Red = 3, and Green = 3

Red = 3, and Green = 4

Red = 4, and Green = 3

Red = 4, and Green = 4

Therefore, the probability of winning on a single play is:

P=\frac{4}{16}\\P=0.25

The probability is 0.25 or 25%.
