According to the condition, this equation has <u>two</u> solutions: -14/5 and 14/5.
Short explanation:
5|x|=14; ⇔ |x|=14/5; ⇒

PS. it's correct, if to substitute the values of 'x' into the condition/equation.
Answer:
Probability, eh?
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out how likely an event is, we just put the number of the blue bands over the total number of 'other' bands.
Pretty easy!
(or do you want it in percent?)
%
(I remember there was a weird notation for these things, but I forgot it)
It is unlikely he will choose a blue band, as it is much more likely he will choose a 'other' band.
Remember, the smallest number for an event will make it the most unlikeliest to happen out of all the others.
Hope this helps!

Find the negative reciprocal of the given line's slope in order to determine what the slope of the line will be.
-2/5 -> -5/2 -> 5/2
Your line now looks like this: y = 5/2x + b
Now, substitute the given point into the y and x variables and solve for b.
y = 5/2x + b
-3 = 5/2(2) + b
-3 = 5 + b
-8 = b
You are now done. The line is y = 5/2x - 8.
Here, y = -15 with x = -20
LCM of 15 & 20 is 60, so divide 15 & 20 from 60,
60/15 = 4 & 60/20 = 3
Now, multiply the results with intial values,
4y = 3x
y = 3/4 x
When y = 12,
x = 12 * 4/3
x = 48 / 3
x = 16
In short, Your Answer would be 16
Hope this helps!
