For a game show, Jared has to

choose 1 of 8 boxes to win a prize. One of the

boxes has a big prize, 3 boxes have a medium

prize, 3 boxes have smaller prizes, and 1 box is

empty. How confident should Jared be that

whatever box he chooses, he will win a prize?

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.

the answer is d
