Answer: infinitely many and none
Step-by-step explanation:
if all variables cancel and you are left with zero, there are infinitely many solutions. if it is false there are no solutions.
Part A: The probability is 1/6. This is because there are six options in total, and only one of those options is 6.
Part B: The probability is 6/6, or alternatively 100%. This is because that the probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6, and the probability of rolling any of the other options is 5/6. Adding them together gives a probability of 6/6.
Part C: The probability is 5/6. This is because there are six options, and of those, five of them are not 6.
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
