Answer:

Deductive reasoning is a method of logical thought that begins with a general concept and arrives at a particular conclusion. It is often referred to as top-down thought or shifting from general to particular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some examples:

Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. ...
All horses have manes.
Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle.
All noble gases are stable.

How do you solve (7x + 5) - (3x + 2)

Korolek [52]

Answer:

x = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(7x + -5) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-5 + 7x) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-5 + 7x)

-5 + 7x + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 7x + -1(-2 + 3x) = 0

-5 + 7x + (-2 * -1 + 3x * -1) = 0

-5 + 7x + (2 + -3x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: -5 + 2 = -3

-3 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 4x = 0 + 3

4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

4x = 3

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 0.75

Simplifying

x = 0.75

In the game of Keno, a player starts by selecting 20 numbers from the numbers 1 to 80. After the player makes his selections, 20

DiKsa [7]

The percentage of winning if 20 winning numbers are randomly selected from numbers 1 to 80 is 12.48%.

Given There are 80 numbers from which 20 numbers are selected randomly in a game of Keno by player and after selection of 20 winning numbers again 20 numbers are selected and player wins if the player has correctly selected 3,4,or 5 of the 20 winning numbers.

Probability is the chance of happening an event among all the events possible.

Probability of winning is calculated as under:

Probability= $C(20,3)C(60,17)/C(80,20)$

We have taken C(20,3) because player will win if 5 numbers are selected from 20 winning numbers.

We have taken C(60,17) because after selection of 20 numbers 60 numbers will left from 80 and after winning from 3 numbers 17 numbers left and from total 80, 20 numbers are taken.

=C(20,3)C(60,17)/C(80,20)

=(20!/3!17! * 60!/17!43!)/80!/20!60!

=1140*387221678682300/35353161422121743200

=12.48%

Hence the probability of winning is 12.48%.
