You count how many places the number is away from 0. try writing it out in an equation it would help
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
In both questions you want to get the x alone.
1.
-3x + (-6) = 9
First you want to add 6 to both sides so you'll be left with:
-3x = 15
Next, you want to divide both sides by -3 and you'll get:
x = -5
2.
-4x + (-12) = 8
You want to do the same thing as the first one so you'll add 12 to both sides:
-4x = 20
Then, you will divide both sides by -4 and get:
x = -5
Answer:
Probability of having at least 4 Girls
= 0.6875
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of having at least 4 Girls is 1-probability of having exactly 3 girls
Total number of children= 5 = N
Probability of having a girl p = 0.5
Probability of not having a girl q= 0.5
X= 3
Probability of at least 4 girls is given by
Probability= NCX(p)^x(q)^(N-x)
Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^(5-3)
Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^2
Probability= 5!/3!2!(0.5)^3(0.5)^2
Probability= 10(0.125)(0.25)
Probability= 0.3125
Probability of having at least 4 Girls
= 1- 0.3125
= 0.6875
