X + y = 61
x = y + 9

Substitute y + 9 in for x in the first equation and then solve.
y + 9 + y = 61
Combine like terms
2y + 9 = 61
Subtract 9 from both sides
2y = 52
Divide both sides by 2
y = 26
y + 9 = 35

A bag holds 11 beads. 7 are red, the rest are white. Two beads are taken at random from the bag. What is the probability that on
babunello [35]

Answer:

  The probability of the first draw is 100%, because the bead will be either red or white.  For the second draw, a different color must be drawn.

  So, if draw 1 is white, then the probability of draw 2 being red is 7/10.  and if the first draw is red, then the probability of draw two being white is 5/10.
