If you have multiple equations with multiple variables, you can either do clever substitutions, or turn it into a matrix on which you can perform linear combinations or multiplications (Gauss elimination)

1  1   1  1
2  1  -1  8
1 -1   1  -5

(note how the above 3 rows represent the 3 equations, just got rid of the variables, plus sign and equals sign)

subtract row1 from row3, that eliminates x and z from row 3.

1  1   1  1
2  1  -1  8
0 -2   0  -6

divide row3 by -2, that will give y a factor of 1

1  1   1  1
2  1  -1  8
0 1   0  3

The last row now says y=3

kaheart [24]

Since 1 litre is 1000 millilitres, we can convert it to 1000 millilitres. So, we can subtract 375 millilitres from 1000 millilitres. Which will give us the answer of 625 millilitres.

Amanda [17]
P(8 or 12) = 1/6
P(not 8 or 12 = 5/6
Let the expected points fro one roll be X.
E(X)=9\times\frac{1}{6}-2\times\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{1}{6}\ points
The answer is -(1/6) points.
