x=3,y=5
x=4,y=2
Answer:
![\frac{2}{5}±\frac{\sqrt{17}}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%C2%B1%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%7B17%7D%7D%7B5%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
![(5x-2)^2=17 \\ 5x-2=±\sqrt{17} \\ 5x = 2 ± \sqrt{17} \\ x=\frac{2}{5}± \frac{\sqrt{17}}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%285x-2%29%5E2%3D17%20%5C%5C%205x-2%3D%C2%B1%5Csqrt%7B17%7D%20%5C%5C%205x%20%3D%202%20%C2%B1%20%5Csqrt%7B17%7D%20%20%20%5C%5C%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%C2%B1%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%7B17%7D%7D%7B5%7D)

Answer:
pretty sure its D. 1.6 x 10^9
7 red, 8 yellow, 9 white......total = 24 roses
probability first pick is white : 9/24
probability second pick is yellow : 8/23
probability of both : 9/24 * 8/23 = 72/552 reduces 3/23 <====
