Solve 4(x-5)= 14 please answer nowww

x=8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we want to find out what x is. To do this, we need to get x by itself.

Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Remember to perform everything to both sides.

4(x-5)=14

4 is being multiplied by x-5. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

4(x-5)/4=14/4

x-5=14/4

x-5=3.5

5 is being subtracted from x. The opposite of subtraction is addition. Add 5 to both sides.

x-5+5=3.5+5

x=3.5+5

x=8.5

Let's check our solution. Plug 8.5 in for x in the original equation.

4(x-5)=14

4(8.5-5)=14

4(3.5)=14

14=14

Both sides of the equation are the same, so we know our solution, x=8.5 is correct.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
