First, you have to give each a variable. In this case, the smaller number will be x and the larger number will be y.

Next, you need to make the equations. Your equations are:
y+3x=14
x+2=y

What you're solving for is y because the questions asks what the larger number is.

Then, substitute. It will be this after substituted:

x+2+3x=14

Combine like terms.

4x+2=14

Subtract by 2 on both sides.

4x=12

Divide by 4 on both sides.

x=3

^This what your smaller number is but you can easily find what y (the larger number) is. Substitute x into the other equation, which is basically adding 2 to 3.

y=5

Asher has about a probability of winning then Ethan has which could be the outcome that Ashlee needs to win the game select thre
mash [69]

Answer:

There are 36 total possible outcomes.

Rolling a sum of 11 or higher, there are 3 possible rolls, to make a 3/36 = 1/12 probability.

Rolling a sum of 4 there are also 3 possibilities, so the chance would be the same.

Rolling a sum of 9, there are 4 possibilities, which is a better chance.

Rolling a sum less than 5, there is 6 possibilities, which is a better chance.

Rolling greater than 5 but less than 7 means rolling a sum of 6, there are 5 chances, which is a better chance.

Rolling greater than 9 but less than 11, means rolling a 10, there are 3 possibilities, which is the same.

Rolling greater than 2 and less than 4 means rolling a 3, there are 2 possibilities, which is less.

The answers would be:

Rolling a sum of 9,

Rolling a sum less than 5

Rolling greater than 5 but less than 7
