A number decreased by 5 is 14

Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable. ∣-4b-8∣+∣-1-b^2 ∣+2b^3 ; b=-2

Another type of subtraction equation is 16-b=7. explain how you would sole this equation then solve it.

Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 8 tracks on it. after listening to them you decide that you like 4 of the songs. with the random feature on your player, each of the 8 songs is played once in random order. find the probability that among the first two songs played (a) you like both of them. would this be unusual? (b) you like neither of them. (c) you like exactly one of them. (d) redo () if a song can be replayed before all 8 songs are played.
