Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. (Parenthesis) Distribute:                                                                               3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                     3x + 2 = 2x + 10
  3. {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                    x + 2 = 10
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                      x = 8

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                               3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add:                                                                         3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         18 + 8 = 26
  4. Add:                                                                                                               26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

Tiles with the letters A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H written on them are placed in a bag. Malik draws out on letter at random. Which state
dusya [7]

Using the probability concept, it is found that the correct statements are given as follows:

  • The number of possible outcomes is 8.
  • P(vowel)=1/4
  • P(vowel) + P(consonant) = 1.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, there are eight letters, two of which are vowels and six of which are consonants.

Hence:

  • P(vowel) = 2/8 = 1/4.
  • P(consonant) = 6/8 = 3/4.
  • P(vowel) + P(consonant) = 1/4 + 3/4 = 1.

E is one out eight letters, hence the probability is drawing the tile with E written on it is 1/8.
