Solve the following system using elimination:
{15 y - 14 x = 15 | (equation 1)
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 1)
{-(14 x) + 15 y = 15 | (equation 2)

Add 2/3 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(5 y)/3 = 25/3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3/5:
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Add 20 × (equation 2) to equation 1:
{21 x+0 y = 90 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 21:
{x+0 y = 30/7 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = 30/7, y = 5

Describe the likelihood of an event as impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely or certain. 21) There is a 0% chance of pick
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

21) There is a 0% chance of picking a 13 in a deck of cards. <u>Impossible.</u>

If there is a 0% chance that something will happen then it is impossible.

22) There is a 50% chance of picking a red card in a deck of cards.<u> Equally likely.</u>

If there is a 50% chance that something will happen, it is equally likely that it will happen.

23) There is an 80% chance of snow tomorrow. <u>Likely or certain.</u>

If there is an 80% chance of something happening, it means that the chances of that thing happening good and the event is likely to occur.

24) There is a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. <u>Unlikely.</u>

A low chance of 20% means that something is unlikely to occur.

Describe the relationship between the number of places a decimal point is moved to the left and the change in the value of the n
dimaraw [331]
For every decimal place you move a decimal through a number you can think of it as multiplying or dividing by ten. 

take for example 1000.0 
if you move the decimal to make this number 100.00 you divided it by ten 
if you move the decimal again to make 10.000 you divided ten again

but, if you make the number bigger, say 10000. then you have multiplyed by ten.
