Multiply 80 by 5/8ths.
80*5/8=50
<span>1) 3x-2=x+10
</span><span>Now, lets solve this step-by-step.
</span><span>
3x - 2 = x + 10
-x -x
</span><span>
</span><span>3x - x = 2x 2x - 2 = 10
</span><span>
</span><span>2x - 2 = 10
</span>2x - 2+2 = 10+2 The inverse operation helps isolate the variable.
<span>
2x = 12
2x/2 = 12/2
x = 12/2
x = 6</span><span>
Answer: x = 6
2) x + 4 = 19 - 2x </span>
We can solve this much faster
x + 4 = 19 - 2x
+2x
x+2x = 3x
3x + 4 = 19
-4 -4
19-4 = 15
3x= 15
3x/3 = 15/3
x= 5
Answer: x = 5
3) <span>8x - 20 = x + 15
Much faster now!!
8x - 20 = x + 15
-x
8x-x = 7x
7x - 20 = 15
+20 +20
15+20 = 35
7x = 35
7x/7 = 35/7
x = 35/7
x = 5
Answer: x= 5</span>
Option A is true because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180, so we can rule that one out immediately.
We can solve for x for the other 3 options by setting up this equation:
7x+2 + 4x+7 + 8x = 180 | Simplify
19x + 9 = 180 | Subtract 9
19x = 171 | Divide by 19
x=9
Now we can substitute x into all the values:
<J = 7x+2 = 65
<L = 4x+7 = 43
<K = 8x = 72
Looking at the options again, we can see that A, B, and D are true, leaving C to be false.
What is the problem?? I would love to help
The possibilities are:
bbbb
bbbg

This shows that there is a 1 in 4 chance of having three boys and one girl
So the answer could be 1/4 or a 25% chance
