Ok, so let’s take the given phrase.
Eight more than the product of 3 and a number is -13. A translation to numbers looks like this:
3x + 8 = -13
Now, let’s solve for x. We can start the process by subtracting 8 from both sides.
3x = -21
now, we will divide each side by 3 to isolate the variable, thus solving for x.
x = -7
Since the die is 6 sided, there’s a 1/6 chance he’ll roll a 2. If we divided 100 by 6, it is a 17% success rate.
24 x 17% is 4.08.
He will probably roll successfully 4 times out of 24
Double check: 4/24 can be simplified to 1/6, which is the original probability.
Answer:
An irrational number is a number that has no pattern and has no end. For example 3 divided by 7 is an irrational number because of the lack of pattern and never-ending decimal.
