5 (x-1)+3 (2 x+9)-2 = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
Solve for x:
-2+5 (x-1)+3 (2 x+9) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
5 (x-1) = 5 x-5:
-2+5 x-5+3 (2 x+9) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
3 (2 x+9) = 6 x+27:
6 x+27+5 x-5-2 = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
Grouping like terms, 6 x+5 x-5-2+27 = (5 x+6 x)+(-2-5+27):
(5 x+6 x)+(-2-5+27) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
5 x+6 x = 11 x:
11 x+(-2-5+27) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
-2-5+27 = 20:
11 x+20 = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
4 (3 x-1) = 12 x-4:
11 x+20 = 12 x-4+2 (4 x+3)
2 (4 x+3) = 8 x+6:
11 x+20 = 8 x+6+12 x-4
Grouping like terms, 12 x+8 x-4+6 = (12 x+8 x)+(-4+6):
11 x+20 = (12 x+8 x)+(-4+6)
12 x+8 x = 20 x:
11 x+20 = 20 x+(-4+6)
6-4 = 2:
11 x+20 = 20 x+2
Subtract 20 x from both sides:
(11 x-20 x)+20 = (20 x-20 x)+2
11 x-20 x = -9 x:
-9 x+20 = (20 x-20 x)+2
20 x-20 x = 0:
20-9 x = 2
Subtract 20 from both sides:
(20-20)-9 x = 2-20
20-20 = 0:
-9 x = 2-20
2-20 = -18:
-9 x = -18
Divide both sides of -9 x = -18 by -9:
(-9 x)/(-9) = (-18)/(-9)
(-9)/(-9) = 1:
x = (-18)/(-9)
The gcd of -18 and -9 is -9, so (-18)/(-9) = (-9×2)/(-9×1) = (-9)/(-9)×2 = 2:

Good evening guys,
Please take a look at this question.

Three digit numbers re formed from the digits 1,2,4,5,6. If repetition is not allowed and a number is picked at random, find the probability that it's a multiple of 5 or an odd number.

From my calculations, I got 2/5 but the text says it's 3/5. Who is wrong?

Solve for x:
-2+5 (x-1)+3 (2 x+9) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
5 (x-1) = 5 x-5:
-2+5 x-5+3 (2 x+9) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
3 (2 x+9) = 6 x+27:
6 x+27+5 x-5-2 = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
Grouping like terms, 6 x+5 x-5-2+27 = (5 x+6 x)+(-2-5+27):
(5 x+6 x)+(-2-5+27) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
5 x+6 x = 11 x:
11 x+(-2-5+27) = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
-2-5+27 = 20:
11 x+20 = 4 (3 x-1)+2 (4 x+3)
4 (3 x-1) = 12 x-4:
11 x+20 = 12 x-4+2 (4 x+3)
2 (4 x+3) = 8 x+6:

Grouping like terms, 12 x+8 x-4+6 = (12 x+8 x)+(-4+6):
11 x+20 = (12 x+8 x)+(-4+6)
12 x+8 x = 20 x:
11 x+20 = 20 x+(-4+6)
6-4 = 2:
11 x+20 = 20 x+2
Subtract 20 x from both sides:
(11 x-20 x)+20 = (20 x-20 x)+2
11 x-20 x = -9 x:
-9 x+20 = (20 x-20 x)+2
20 x-20 x = 0:
20-9 x = 2
Subtract 20 from both sides:
(20-20)-9 x = 2-20
20-20 = 0:
-9 x = 2-20
2-20 = -18:
-9 x = -18
Divide both sides of -9 x = -18 by -9:
(-9 x)/(-9) = (-18)/(-9)
(-9)/(-9) = 1:
x = (-18)/(-9)
The gcd of -18 and -9 is -9, so (-18)/(-9) = (-9×2)/(-9×1) = (-9)/(-9)×2 = 2:

total ways of selection = 5C3 = 10ways

sample space

S={(124),(125),(126),(245),(246),(145),(156),(645),(641),(265)}

check where we have an odd number or multiple of 5

thus, we get

No, I kinda disagree with your sample space, it can't just be 5C3. For instance, where Is 421, 521 and 621 in your sample space? At least, they're also of 3 digits which are odd numbers..

c'mmon bro, the question says no repetition

5C3 means total number of ways we could form the 3-digit number without repetition

421 (124) ,521(125) , 621( 126) already exist in the sample space.

Oga General Ben, I think the "no repetition" in the question means we can't have numbers like 111, 222, 444, 555 and 666.
Moreover, 421 and 124 are not exactly the same number, they're just numbers with the same digits so we can't consider that as repetition because if that's the case, I don't think we should also have 124 and 125 because 1 and 2 have been repeated.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say
