Dan rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total less than 3.
1 answer:
Answer:
1 / 36
Step-by-step explanation:
A roll of 2 fair dice :
Total number of possible outcomes = n² ; n = number of faces in a dice = 6² = 36
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Required outcome = total less than 3 = 1 (from sample space provided)
Hence,
P(total less than 3) = 1/36

I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20

So that's how we're able to go from this

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.
