So, to find the answer you'd first add up how many patients you have:
20+50+100 = 170.
In a fraction your total would go on the bottom. Then you'd take how many patients are taking a real drug, which is represented by 20+50 = 70. This number would go on top.
So, the probability of a patient NOT getting a placebo is 70/170. Simplified would be 7/17.
The answer is D. 7/17.
4(4+2) + 5(5+3)
4x6 + 5x8
24 + 40
64 is your answer
Answer:
A= 5
B= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A= 5 +5+5+5= 20
B= 3 (length) x 3 (width)
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is only 1 letter R in 6 options it is 1/6 (im not entirely sure)

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
a + 6a - 14 = 3a + 6a
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 7a - 14 = 9a
- Subtract 7a on both sides: -14 = 2a
- Divide 2 on both sides: -7 = a
- Rewrite: a = -7
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in a into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>a</em>: -7 + 6(-7) - 14 = 3(-7) + 6(-7)
- Multiply: -7 - 42 - 14 = -21 - 42
- Subtract: -49 - 14 = -63
- Subtract: -63 = -63
Here we see that -63 is equal to -63.
∴ a = -7 is a solution of the equation.
<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>
-12 - 4x = 8x + 4(1 - 7x)
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 4: -12 - 4x = 8x + 4 - 28x
- Combine like terms: -12 - 4x = -20x + 4
- Add 20x on both sides: -12 + 16x = 4
- Add 12 on both sides: 16x = 16
- Divide 16 on both sides: x = 1
<u>Step 6: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: -12 - 4(1) = 8(1) + 4(1 - 7(1))
- Multiply: -12 - 4 = 8 + 4(1 - 7)
- Subtract: -16 = 8 + 4(-6)
- Multiply: -16 = 8 - 24
- Subtract: -16 = -16
Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.
∴ x = 1 is a solution of the equation.
