y = 8 -2x

x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1

x + 16 - 4x = 1

x - 4x = -15

-3x = -15

x = 5

If x = 5, then we can substitute in...

5 + 2y = 1

2y = -4

y = -2

Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation

2x + y = 8

2 (5) + (-2) = 8

That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/

Problem If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the dice show the same number?
shusha [124]
Lets say yu are trying to roll a 4 on both of the dice the probability for both is 1/6 so multiply 1/6 × 1/6 and you get 1/36
so the probability for rolling the same number on each dice is 1/36
