A travel agent is booking trips for tourists who travel from New York to Chicago. Tourists have three choices for how to travel from New York to Chicago. They can take an airplane for $350, a bus for $150, or a train for $225. Once they arrive in Chicago, they can travel by van to their hotel for $60 or take a cab for $40. If each option is equally likely to occur, what is the probability that a tourist will spend less than $250 on these 2 legs of the trip?

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

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

4

)=(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.
