Answer:
????????????
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
Answer:
x = 5/33 or 0.151515151
Step-by-step explanation:
7(-6x-2) = 8(3x-4)
step 1: simplify the equation.
-42x - 14 = 24x - 4
step 2: isolate the variable (using the balance method).
-42x - 14 + 14 = 24x - 4 + 14
-42x = 24x + 10
-42x - 24x = 24x - 24x + 10
-66x = 10
step 3: solve for x.
x = 10 ÷ -66
x = 5/33
Answer:
<em>Choose the first alternative</em>

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probabilities</u>
The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions
and the total number of possible choices
, i.e.

There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total
We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.
To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5

The total number of possible choices is

The probability is then

Choose the first alternative
2/8
there’s 8 total pies and among all of them, there’s only 2 large pies
so 2 large pies out of eight pies
