Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

"Six times the quantity, x-2, is 24" can be rewritten symbolically as

6(x - 2) = 24. We are to solve this for x.

To do that, divide both sides of the above equation by 6, to isolate x - 2:

x - 2 = 4

Adding 2 to both sides isolates x: x = 6

It would be 2/10, or 1/5, since two out of the 10 numbers are even. 2/10 simplifies to 1/5, since there is 1 for every 5 numbers.

We could turn this into a percentage by dividing 1 by 5, which gives us 0.2. Then we can multiply by 100 to get 20.

So, our probability of choosing an even number is:
2/10
OR
1/5
OR
20%
