For the first one,
you multiply 5x and -5 to get -25.
Then you move the constant to the right and change the sign to get 3x= -21 +25.
Calculate the sum of -21+25 to get 4.
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x=4/3.
So then your final answer is x=4
——
3
For the second one,
Distribute 7 through the parentheses to get 14x + 14+8=120
The you add 14+8 to get 22. Your equation should be 14x+22=120
Move the constant to the right side and change its sign to get 14x=120-22
Subtract 120-22 to get 98. Now your equation should be 14x=98
Divide both sides of the equation by 14 to get x=7.
Your finial answer for the second one should be x=7.

Answer:
The probability that the red card came from the first stack is:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Stack Red Blue Total
First 6 5 11
Second 9 0 9
Total 15 5 20
The probability of selecting from the first stack = 50% since equal opportunity is given to the two sacks.
The probability of red card from the first stack = 6/15 = 0.4 = 40%.
b) The probability that the red card came from the first stack is given by the number of red cards in the first stack divided by the number or red cards in the two stacks. This is equal to 6/15 = 0.4 or 40%.
Your inequality looks like this:

To get rid of the /6, you need to multiply by 6 as the opposite operation cancels it out. So, all you need to do is multiply both sides by 6 to isolate x.
Therefore:
It cant be 7 because,
X-7>3
7-7>3
0>3
And 0 is not bigger than 3
It cant be 9 because,
X-7>3
9-7>3
2>3
And 2 is not bigger than 3
So it is 11 because,
X-7>3
11-7>3
4>3
And 4 is bigger than 3
So the answer is 3) 11
