1 5/6 is the correct answer.
Answer:
x must equal 5 and y must equal 2
therefore,
5a + 2b = 23 and
5a - 2b = 7.
I'm gonna take 5a + 2b = 23 and add 7 to each side:
5a + 2b + 7 = 30
and substitute 5a -2b in for 7 on the left side:
5a + 2b + (5a-2b) = 30
10a = 30
a = 3
Now we know a. Now take
5a -2b = 7
and substitute in 3 for a
5*(3) - 2b = 7
15 -2b = 7
8 = 2b
b = 4
a = 3 and b = 4

expected return of the player is 
Answer:
1.) 
2.) 
3.) 1
4.) 
5.) 
6.) 
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 steps for all of these is to get common denominators and then add and simplify.
1.) 3/4 + 1/2 (common denominator) 3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
2.) 5/6 + 1/2 (common denominator) 5/6 + 3/6 = 4/3
3.) 3/6 + 1/2 (common denominator) 3/6 + 3/6 = 6/6 (simplify) = 1
4.) 1/6 + 4/8 (common denominator) 8/48 + 24/48 = 32/48 (simplify) = 2/3
5.) 7/8 + 1/4 (common denominator) 7/8 + 2/8 = 9/8
6.) 3/8 + 1/2 (common denominator) 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8
