In the first year, there is a probability of 0.2 that the new business will lose $10,000, a probability of 0.4 that the new business will break even ($0 loss or gain) a, probability of 0.3 that the new business will make 5,000 in profits, and a probability of 0.1 that the new business will make $8,000 in profits a. claire should invest in the company of she makes a profit.

b. if claire's initial investment is $1,200 and the expected values for the new business stays constant, how many years will it take for her to earn back her initial investment?

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
