What does likelihood mean in math

Likelihood is the probable chances of occurrence of an event.

It simply means: what’s the chance “x” will occur?

I have a jar with 20 candies of which 10 are red, 5 are blue, 3 are green, and 2 are white. If I randomly grab 1 candy, what’s the likelihood it’ll be red? In other words: what’s the *chance* it’ll be a red candy?

(It’s 10/20 = 1/2 = 50%, by the way, but it’s just an example).

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
