Y=-3x+9 y=-x-5 what is the solution for the system of equations?

Our system of equations is:

y = -3x + 9

y = -x - 5


To solve this system of equations, we are going to use substitution. This means that we are going to substitute the second equation into the first equation since both are already solved for y in terms of x.


y = -3x + 9

-x - 5 = -3x + 9


Now, we must simplify by moving all of the constant terms to one side of the equation and all of the variable terms to the other side.


-x - 5 = -3x + 9

2x - 5 = 9

2x = 14


Finally, to undo the multiplication between the coefficient 2 and the variable x, we must divide both sides by 2 to get the variable x alone.


x = 7


Next, we must substitute in this value we have solved for x into one of the original equations to solve for the other variable, y.


y = -3x + 9

y = -3(7) + 9


To simplify, we must multiply through the parentheses and combine like terms by addition.


y = -21 + 9

y = -12


Therefore, your final answer is x = 7 and y = -12, or as an ordered pair (7, -12).


Hope this helps!

4.) A bag contains 10 red marbles and 5 blue marbles. You randomly select 3 marbles from the bag. What is
sesenic [268]

Answer:

a) 1/27

b) 2/91

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains 10 red marbles and 5 blue marbles (15 marbles in total). You randomly select 3 marbles from the bag.

a) You replace each marble before selecting the next one.

The probability of selecting one blue marble is

\dfrac{5}{15}=\dfrac{1}{3},

then the probability that all 3 marbles are blue is

\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{27}

b) You do not replace each marble before selecting the next one. Each time the number of blue marbles decreases by 1 and the total number of marbles decreases by 1 too. So the probability that all 3 marbles are blue is

\dfrac{5}{15}\times \dfrac{4}{14}\times \dfrac{3}{13}=\dfrac{2}{91}
