Bryson hopes to win a three-day vacation in a drawing that is being held at his office. He purchased 40 raffle tickets. There were 500 raffle tickets sold. What is the theoretical probability of Bryson winning the trip?

The probability would be 40 / 500 = 0.08.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
