Carl and beneta are playing a game using the spinner below

A) Carl's claim is incorrect since the probability of the spinner landing on a 6, 7, or 8 is 3/8, which is only 37.5% and cannot be described as likely.

b) For Benata there are many situations for which this could work, but one example for event X would be the spinner landing on a number less than or equal to 6.

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0

the value of x is equal to 0.
