In the equation 6x − 2 = −4x + 2, Spencer claims that the first step is to add 4x to both sides. Jeremiah claims that the first step is to subtract 6x from both sides. Who is correct? Explain.

Ily begins solving the equation 4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11. her work is shown below. 4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11 4x – 4 – x = 3x + 15 – 11 3x – 4 = 3x + 4 how can her partial solution be interpreted?

Giuseppi's pizza had orders for $931.00 of pizzas. the prices were $21 for a large pizza, 514 for a medium pizza, and $7 for a small pizza. the number of large pizzas was two less than four times the number of medium pizzas. thenumber of small pizzas was three more than three times the number of medium pizzas. how many of each size of pizza were ordered?

The random variable x is the number of occurrences of an event over an interval of ten minutes. it can be assumed that the probability of an occurrence is the same in any two-time periods of an equal length. it is known that the mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3. the appropriate probability distribution for the random variable
