Holy @$#% THAT LOOKS HARD! Sorry, I can't help I don't know that math yet.
4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

Answer:
6/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Q57) if 1/4 of a packet cover 1/5 then using a packet is using 4* 1/4 of it. This means that 4*1/5 of the garden would be covered which = 4/5.
q58) the total is 24 and 9 of them are boys. Therefore it follows that 9/24 of them are boys and so thats the probability of choosing a boy at random.
