An experiment consists of rolling two fair number cubes. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers will be 8? express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
ⓐ- 5/36
ⓑ- 1/9
ⓒ- 36/5
ⓓ- 31/36
i know that the answer is a, they give us the answer but we need to provide work and i don't understand how we get the answer.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
