What is the expression in its simplest form?
3.1x + 3.1 + 4x – 9.2
0.9x + 9.2
7.1x – 6.1
12.4x + 6.1

7.1x−6.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

=(3.1)(x)+(3.1)(1)+(4)(x)+(4)(−2.3)

=3.1x+3.1+4x+−9.2

Combine Like Terms:

=3.1x+3.1+4x+−9.2

=(3.1x+4x)+(3.1+−9.2)

=7.1x+−6.1

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
