Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
18-5=13. You have to subtract 5 from 5 itself and then 18.
You can just simplify to make an equivalent equation:
(2)(3x + 8) = 5 ⇒ 6x + 16 = 5

<span>x – 12 ≥ 18
Let's break down the sentence and create an inequality from it. We'll use X to represent the number.
"Twelve fewer than a number is at least 18."
The "Twelve fewer than a number" indicates subtraction, so let's do that.
X - 12
"is at least 18." would be a greater than or equal relationship. So we have
X - 12 ≥ 18
And we're done. The desired equation is:
x – 12 ≥ 18</span>
Answer: Our required probability is 0.55.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Probability that chance of winning the hotel bid = 40%
Probability that no chance of winning the hotel bid = 100-40=60%
Probability that chance of winning the office building bid = 25%
Probability that no chance of winning the office building bid = 100-25 = 75%
So, Probability that the company will win at least one contract is given by

Hence, our required probability is 0.55.
Answer:
-3x + 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
(f + g)(x) = x + 8 - 4x - 3
= -3x + 5.
