Since we have the 2.1 next to the parenthesis, we need to first distribute.

2.1 * x & 2.1 * 5

2.1x + 10.5

Then we take that and add the equals seven to the problem to move onto the next step.

2.1x + 10.5 = 7

We must get the 2.1x alone, therefore subtracting the 10.5 as it will also be subtracted on the other side as well.

2.1x + 10.5 = 7
- 10.5 -10.5

2.1x = -3.5

To get the x alone, we must divide both sides by 2.1, therefore removing the 2.1 from the x.

2.1x = -3.5
/2.1 /2.1

x = 1.66666666667

Hope this helped!

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

In Littletown, the probability that a baseball team goes to the city playoffs is 0.30. the probability that the team goes to the state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs is 0.20.

What is the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs?

A. 0.10

B.0.50

C. 0.66

D. 0.06

Answer:

OPTION D is correct

d)0.06

the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is $0.06$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a baseball team goes to city playoffs is 0.30.

P(baseball team goes to city playoffs)=0.30

The probability that the team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs is 0.20.

P(team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs)=0.20

From our knowledge of set, we know that

P(A | B)= P(A ∩ C)/P(C)

where A= city playoffs

B= state playoffs

P(State play off | city play off)=0.20

P(State play off ∩ city play off)/P(city play off,)=0.20

P(State play off ∩ city play off)/0.30 =0.20

P(State play off ∩ city play off)= 0.30 × 0.20

= 0.06

Hence,the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is 0.06
