Simplfy the given equation using the distributive property 5x + 2(x - 3) = -2(x - 1)

The value of x in the given equation is 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(x - 3) = -2(x - 1)

Distribute 2 to (x - 3)

5x + 2x - 6 = -2(x - 1)

Distribute 2 to (x - 1)

5x + 2x - 6 = -2x + 2

Combine 5x and 2x on the left side of the equation.

7x - 6 = -2x + 2

Add 6 on both side of the equation.

7x = -2x + 8

Add 2x on both sides of the equation.

9x = 8

Now divide 9 from 8. Make sure you round the decimal because the quotient of these numbers is a repeating decimal.

x = 0.89

So, the value of x is 0.89

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
