-3(x+2)-7 = 5x + 7

-3x - 6 - 7 = 5x + 7

-3x - 13 = 5x + 7

-20 = 8x

x = -2.5

Answer:

Exact form = x=-5/2

Decimal form = x=-2.5

Mixed number form = x=-2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

-3(x+2)-7 = 5x + 7

-3x - 6 - 7 = 5x + 7

-3x - 13 = 5x + 7

-20 = 8x

  Divide both sides by 8 to get x by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

= 7x - 2x - 6y + 3y

= 5x - 3y

Will got 5x + 9y because he didn't multiply the values in the bracket by the minus sign outside the bracket. He multiplied the values by +2 rather than -2. This resulted in the wrong answer that he got.

Answer:

No

Using this method, each group of 60 players do not have the same chance of being selected.
