Anumber cube with six sides numbered 1 through 6 is rolled. the probability of rolling a 5 is 16 . what is the probability of not rolling a 5? enter your answer as a fraction, in simplest form, in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

For any event A , the probability of not getting A is given by :-

P(not A)= 1- P(A)

Given : A number cube with six sides numbered 1 through 6 is rolled.

Then we have,

The total number of possible outcomes = 6

Also, it is given that , The probability of rolling a 5 is

P(rolling 5)=.

Now, the probability of not rolling a 5 will be :-

P(not rolling a 5)= 1- P(rolling 5)

.

Hence, the  probability of not rolling a 5 =

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
