Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of getting a 7 + Probability of not getting a 7 = 1.
Odds against drawing a 7 = Probability of not getting a 7.
We could calculate the probability of getting a 7 and subtract 1 from it to get the answer.
There a four sevens in a deck of card, one of each kind.
Probability of getting a 7 = 

P(not getting a 7)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the system:

If we isolate the x-variable in the first equation:

Subtract 2y from both sides:

Divide both sides by -1:

Therefore, we would substitute the above into the second equation:

The answer is 2y+6
Further notes:
To solve for the system, distribute:

Simplify:

Subtract:

Divide:

Now, substitute this value back into the isolated equation:

This is simple division to do this you must know you multiplication. However the answer is 28 ;)
