A class consists of 82 women and 99 men. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that the student is a woman?

the answer is a. 72. but i cant answer with less than 20 characters so here's some random text talking about it.

x=-2

step-by-step explanation:

i began by flipping the problem to give me x= on the left (keeps it clearer for me).   so my problem simply became 10x-3=4x-6.  

1)   subtract 4x from the right side, which equals 0.   you do the same to the left of the equal as the right; therefore, subtract 4x from 10x, leaving 6x on the left.

              10x-3=4x-6   :   4x-4x on the right leaves only the -6        

2)             6x-3= 0-6 :    

                6x+3=   -6

3) divide

1. 293.2

2. 105.25   (105.3)
