So,
First you have to distribute the numbers outside of the parentheses (you multiply them with the numbers inside of the parentheses
-18+(-9a) + 8a +36=11
Then collect like terms
18-1a =11
-18 -18
---------------------
-1a=-7
Divide both sides by -1
a=7
Y=5x+3. because your y axis is moved
....................................3.....................................
You have to find the area of both the square and rectangle. use the formula A=wl
square = 3x3 = 9
rectangle = 10x3 = 30
area= 39 (i think)
If the turn out of an event is to take place or not to take place only then, the sum of the probability of it taking place and not taking place is 1. If we represent the probability of it taking place by x then, the probability of it not taking place is equal to 1 - x.
