-4 is what you put on both sides Bc it’s half of b
-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer:
a) 0.3246
b) 0.0043
Step-by-step explanation:
- For player 1 ; Probability of winning = P(W) = 1/3
- Probability of loosing; P(winning) + P( Loosing) = 1
a) To find Find P(N <= 10) = P(2)+P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)
= (1/3)^2 + (1/3)^2 x 2/3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^2 + (1/3)^2x (2/3)^3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^4
X (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^5 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^6 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^7 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8
= 0.3246
b) Find P(N = 10) = (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8 = 0.0043
386 is the answer.................................
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you work through it as if you were doing polynomial long division you just have to work through the first step and then compare it to the answer. In polynomial long division you always divide the leading term of the dividend and divide it by the leading term of the divisor. In this case 24x^2 /ax = -8x. So this is a pretty simple calculation to find what a is. the xs cancel out so you get 24x/a = -8x and from here you can divide both sides by x, multiply both sides by a and then divide both sides by -8.
24x/a = -8
24/a = -8
24 = -8a
-3 = a
Now just follow through with the whole long division to make sure, but using this method should get you the right answer.
