I think its A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em>x = 2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Equations</u>
Solve:

Separate each exponential:

Operating:

Multiplying by 5:

Rearranging:

Recall that:


Calling


Factoring:

There are two possible solutions:
y=25
y=-50
Since

y cannot be negative, thus:

The solution is:
x = 2
Expected value of the bet is
the sum of the products of value of outcome and its probability,
less the amount paid to place the bet.
Outcomes value probability
win 225 1/4
lose 0 3/4
cost of bet = 40
So expected value of bet
E[X]=225*(1/4)+0*(3/4)-40
=56.25-40
=16.25
This means that in the long run, gambler will win, since the expected value is positive. (does NOT mean she will win in the next bet!)
4x-4>20
Step 1: Add four to both sides
4x-4+4>20+4
4x>24
Step 2: Divide both sides by 4
4x divided by 4 and 24 divided by 4
Answer: x>6
Kahal accidentally subtracted instead of adding. He made a mistake in step 2.
