Answer:
30/552
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem you need to multiply the probability of getting grape for the first gumball with the probability of getting grape for the second gumball. Since there are 6 grape gumballs and a total of 24 gumballs (6*4). Then the probability of getting grape for the firs one is
Now there are only 5 grape gumballs available and one less in the total supply, therefore the probability of getting grape in the second try is
Finally we multiply them together to find the probability of getting two grapes in a row.

<h3>Answer:</h3>
8x = 12
<h3>Explanation:</h3>Subtracting the first equation from the second, you get ...
... (5x +2y) -(3x +2y) = (7) -(5)
... 2x = 2 . . . . . the first answer choice is true
___
Multiplying this expression for x by 4, we get
... 8x = 8 . . . . . the second answer choice (8x=12) is false
___
Adding thee first equation to the second, you get ...
... (3x +2y) +(5x +2y) = (5) +(7)
... 8x +4y = 12
... 8 + 4y = 12 . . . . . . use the value of 8x just computed
... 4y = 4 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8; the third answer choice is true
_____
<em>Alternate approaches</em>
In short, if you solve the system by any of the methods available, you find x=1 and y=1, so the second answer choice is clearly the correct one:
... 8x ≠ 12
By Cramer's method:
... x = (2·7-2·5)/(2·5-2·3) = 4/4 = 1
... y = (5·5-7·3)/4 = 4/4 = 1
By graphing, see attached.
By substitution (for 2y):
... 5x +(5-3x) =7 . . . . . using 2y=5-3x
... 2x = 2 . . . . . . subtract 5
... x = 1 . . . . . . . .divide by 2
... 5 -3·1 = 2y = 2 . . . . substitute x into the expression for 2y
... y = 1 . . . . . . . divide by 2
By matrix methods, see the second attachment. (x, y) = (1, 1), found in the rightmost column of the result.
