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

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-4x+12=5x-16

Graph the first six terms of a sequence where a1 = −10 and d = 3.
Neko [114]

notice the first term is -10, and the common difference is 3, so we add 3 to get the next term.

\bf \begin{array}{cccll}\stackrel{x}{n}&term&\stackrel{y}{value}\\\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\1&a_1&-10\\\\2&a_2&\stackrel{-10+3}{-7}\\\\3&a_3&\stackrel{-7+3}{-4}\\\\4&a_4&\stackrel{-4+3}{-1}\\\\5&a_5&\stackrel{-1+3}{2}\\\\6&a_6&\stackrel{2+3}{5}\end{array}

check the picture below.

Find the probability​ p(e or​ f) if e and f are mutually​ exclusive, ​p(e)equals 0.25​, and ​p(f)equals 0.51.
Masteriza [31]

The definition of two events being mutually exclusive (or disjoint) only means that it is not possible for the two events to occur together. Given two events, E and F, they are mutually exclusive and also mean independent.

In this case, since events E and F are mutually exclusive, therefore the probability that either E or F will occur will simply be the sum of two events.

P (E or F) = P (E) + P (F)

P (E or F) = 0.25 + 0.51

P (E or F) = 0.76

 

Therefore this means that there is a 76% probability that either E or F will occur.
