Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{x+1}{x}=1+\dfrac{1}{x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2-x}=(*)\\\\x^2-1=x^2-1^2\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\=(x-1)(x+1)\\\\x^2-x=(x)(x)-(x)(1)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\=x(x-1)\\\\(*)=\dfrac{(x-1)(x+1)}{x(x-1)}\qquad\text{cancel}\ (x-1)\\\\=\dfrac{x+1}{x}=\dfrac{x}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}=1+\dfrac{1}{x}$

BRAINLIEST AND 50 POINTS

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

P ( blue ) = 1/4

P ( white ) = 5/12

P ( red ) = 1/3

P ( not red ) = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of a marble being chosen, it is the number of that color over the total

We need to find the total number of marbles

4 red+ 5 white+3 blue = 12 marbles

P ( blue ) = 3 blue / 12 total = 3/12 = 1/4

P ( white ) = 5 white / 12 total = 5/12

P ( red ) = 4 red/ 12 total = 4/12 = 1/3

How man marbles are not red

total marbles - red marbles = 12-4 = 8

8 marbles are not red

P ( not red ) = 8 not red / 12 total = 8/12 = 2/3
