Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4(4x + -3) = 36
Reorder the terms:
4(-3 + 4x) = 36
(-3 * 4 + 4x * 4) = 36
(-12 + 16x) = 36
Solving
-12 + 16x = 36
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + 16x = 36 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 16x = 36 + 12
16x = 36 + 12
Combine like terms: 36 + 12 = 48
16x = 48
Divide each side by '16'.
x = 3
Simplifying
x = 3
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected value is the probability times the frequency.
3 = 1/6 × n
n = 18
Note: the use of the word "odds" is very misleading here. Odds are the ratio of number of successes to number of failures:
S / F
Probability is the ratio of number of successes to number of all outcomes:
S / (S + F)
So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6. The odds of rolling a 5 is 1/5.
Furthermore, the word "must" is also incorrect. The player didn't <em>have</em> to roll 18 times. They could have rolled three times and gotten a 5 each time. Or they could have rolled 100 times. 18 is simply the most <em>likely </em>number of rolls needed to get three 5's.
0.476 is the answer to this question.
