1 5/8 = 13/8
(13/8)/14 = .116 or 13/112
.116 (26) = 3.016 or 169/56
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.
First, we can simplify the left side. (6+8x)/2 is equal to 3 + 4x. We can put the equation together at this point.
3 + 4x = 5x
we can subtract 4x from both sides to get our final answer,
3 = x, or x = 3. :)
The answer should be "filtration" because distillation is for liquids. Filtration filters out the unwanted products.
