Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
9x - 8(x - 6) = 52
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute -8: 9x - 8x + 48 = 52
- Combine like terms: x + 48 = 52
- Subtract 48 on both sides: x = 4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
9(4) - 8(4 - 6) = 52
36 - 8(-2) = 52
36 + 16 = 52
52 = 52
So you have 3 and you want to get rid of 2 2/5. 3-2 is 1 1-2/5 is equal to three fifths, which is the answer.

One in 1200 are not particularly good odds. On the other hand, winning the lotto is 1 chance in 13,000,000 which if you've ever played the lotto you know that those odds are good enough to insure that if you played for the rest of your life and you are 18 not expect to live to 80 and you have 104 [given 2 draw a week] chances of winning per year, it likely won't happen. One in 1200 is better but still not good, especially with only 1 draw.

As a fraction her probability of winning is 1/2000 which is 0.000833333 as a decimal. You can put that in as

Sample Space = {1,2,3,4 .... 1198,1199,1200}
The outcome depends on sophies number. Either 1 number can be chosen or all of them can.

The sample space is the integers from 1 to 1200 inclusive.
Answer:
option 2.
the others are simultaneous equations in two unknowns but 7x-2y have the same value and the value can't be two different things at once
