Hey there! :)

Equation 1 : -5x + 3y = 2

Equation 2 : -5x - 5y = -30

Because both equations contain a like term (which in this case is 5x), we can easily subtract these equations from one another.

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 :

-5x - (-5x) = 0

3y - (-5y) = 3y + 5y --> 8y

2 - (-30) = 2 + 30 --> 32

This leaves us with 8y = 32. Simplify this to get y by dividing both sides by 8.

8y ÷ 8 = 32 ÷ 8

Simplify.

y = 4

Now, plug in 4 for y in our first equation.

-5x + 3(4) = 2

Simplify.

-5x + 12 = 2

Subtract 12 from both sides.

-5x = 2 - 12

Simplify.

-5x = -10

Divide both sides by -5.

-5x ÷ -5 = -10 ÷ -5

Simplify.

x = 2

Therefore, our answer is :

(2, 4) where x = 2, y = 4

~Hope I helped!~

You roll two dice. What is the probability you get a 2 and a number greater than 2?
abruzzese [7]
Hello!

You have to find the probability of getting a 2

This is a 1/6 chance

Then you have to find the chance of getting a number greater than 2

This is a 4/6 chance

To find the chance of these happening at the same time you multiply these together

1/6 * 4/6 = 1/9

There is a 1/9 chance

Hope this helps!

The computation of a number of groups and number of extra children is shown below:

Given that

There is 27 children

And, this group would be divided into group 5

So,

As we know that 25 is easily divided by 5

So there are 5 groups

And, the extra children is
