Answer:
Malcolm is showing evidence of gambler's fallacy.
This is the tendency to think previous results can affect future performance of an event that is fundamentally random.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each round of the roulette-style game is independent of each other. The probability that 8 will come up at any time remains the same, equal to the probability of each number from 1 to 10 coming up. That it has not come up in the last 15 minutes does not increase or decrease the probability that it would come up afterwards.
Answer:
2x-5= -20
move -5 to the other side
sign changes from -5 to 5
2x-5+5= -20+5
2x= -15
divide by 2 for both sides
2x/2= -15/2
cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and 2 and then becomes x
x= -15/2
