Divide each square into 4 prices and you'll get it
You always start by simplifying.
6b-49=2<span>(</span>b-3) becomes 6b-49=2b-6
From there you can group the b's together by subtracting 2b from both sides, leaving you with 4b-49=-6
Now you can get the b's alone by adding 49 (to cancel out -49) to both sides, giving you 4b=43, You're still trying to get b by itself, so what you'll do is divide both sides by 4, giving you b=10.75

Answer: -20</h3>
==========================================================
Work Shown:
Let x be the location of E on the number line.
Since C is the midpoint of E and F, this means we can find C's location by adding E and F together and dividing that sum by 2
midpoint = (endpoint1 + endpoint2)/2
C = (E+F)/2
Plug in E = x, C = -8 and F = 4. Then solve for x
C = (E+F)/2
-8 = (x+4)/2
(x+4)/2 = -8
x+4 = 2(-8) .... multiplying both sides by 2
x+4 = -16
x = -16-4 .... subtract 4 from both sides
x = -20
The location of point E on the number line is -20
-------------
As a check, lets add E and F to get E+F = -20+4 = -16
Then cut this in half to get -16/2 = -8, which is the proper location of point C
This confirms our answer.
This is a true statement.
Consider two events A and B. We say they are complementary if P(A)+P(B) = 1
This means that either event A or event B must happen, since the "1" represents 100% probability. Having a probability of 100% means absolute certainty.
---------
Example:
A = the event it rains
B = the event it does not rain
P(A) = 0.30 = 30% chance of rain
P(B) = 0.70 = 70% chance it does not rain
P(A)+P(B) = 0.30+0.70 = 1
So this shows the two events are complementary.
