In a parking lot there are only white cars, green cars, and red cars. If one car is selected at random from the lot, the probability that the selected car would be a green car is one sixth and the probability that it would be a red car is one eighth. What is the probability that it would be a white car?

answer: it is d

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

x

​    

=240

=48

step-by-step explanation:

combine all like terms then its just a 2 step equation
