Our missing number we are solving for is X.
We are told x will equal 2x (number doubled) plus -16.
x = 2x + -16 We want to move the smaller variable to the right to sit with the larger one and move the -16 to the left by subtracting it from both sides. Remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding it. So essentially we add 16 to both sides.
16 = 2x - x Combine the variables
16 = x or x = 16
I chose to put the variable on the left in this problem to avoid having a -x on the left side. It doesn't matter which side the variable is on to solve, but when you state it - we usually say x = 16.
Answer:
the probability is 0.4642 (46.42%)
Step-by-step explanation:
for the events E and F such that
N(E ∩ F) = 250 and N(E) = 560
where N represents the number of elements in that set , we can use the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability .Then representing N total =N(E∪F) , we have that the probability is
P( F|E ) = P (E ∩ F)/ P(E) = [N(E ∩ F) / N total]/ [N(E) / N total ] = N(E ∩ F)/ N(E) = 250/560 = 0.4642 (46.42%)
Kay is correct because if you take 3 4s and add them all together you get 12 and if you take 4 3s and add them together you get 12
8+ (x-3)
this would be the answer
