Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve systems of equations using either substitution or elimination. For these problems, I recommend elimination. I'll do the first one as an example.
-3x + 16y = 9
-4x + 8y = 12
Multiply the second equation by -2.
8x − 16y = -24
Add to the first equation (notice the y's cancel out).
(-3x + 16y) + (8x − 16y) = 9 − 24
5x = -15
Solve for x.
x = -3
Now you can plug this into either equation to find y.
-3(-3) + 16y = 9
9 + 16y = 9
y = 0
The solution is (-3, 0).
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-1=2x2 (calculate the product)
3x-1=4x (move terms)
3 x - 4 x =1 (collect the terms)
- x = 1 (change the signs)
Solution is x = -1
Take the -3/5 and add it to 1/30 which would equal 19/30, so x= 19/30
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are a total of three buckets and only one can be chosen at a time, this would mean that the probability of a ball being placed in a bucket is 1/3. Since each ball has the same probability of being placed into any bucket regardless of the where the previous ball landed, it means that each ball has the same 1/3 probability of a bucket. In order to find the probability that all three land in the same bucket, we need to multiply this probability together for each one of the balls like so...

Finally, we see that the probability of all three balls landing in the same bucket is
