All the numbers in the first equation have a common factor of 2. Removing that gives
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y

My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.

_____
On second thought, it might actually be easier to solve either equation for 8y. That term then directly substitutes into the other equation (equivalent to adding the two equations).
.. 8y = 3x -11 . . . . . from the second equation
.. 2x +(3x -11) = 12 . . . substituting into the first equation
.. 5x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 11 (what you would get by adding the equations in the first place)
.. x = 4.6
.. y = (3*4.6 -11)/8 = 0.35

Please help with explaition <br>​
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of any of the friends sitting on any of the seats is equal.

So the probability of Hamad sitting on the first seat = 1/5

As Hamad is sat on the first seat, there are now 4 available seats, so the probability of Riyadh sitting on the second seat = 1/4

Therefore, probability of Hamad sitting on the first seat AND Riyadh sitting on the second seat = 1/5 x 1/4 = 1/20
