Ok so lets say we have a system of equations:
y = x + 1
x + y = 5
All you would do is plug in what is equal to the variable so:
x + x + 1 = 5
Then you would just simplify and solve
2x + 1 = 5
-1 -1
_________
2x = 4
-- --
2 2
x=2

Answer: 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given: 
Find: 
Solution: In order to solve for x we need to isolate it with the first step being to subtract 1 from both sides and then we would divide both sides by 3 to give us the solution.
<u>Subtract 1 from both sides</u>
<u>Divide both sides by 3</u>
Therefore, the final answer would be that x is equal to -1/3.
Answer:
3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 14 marbles, 5 are yellow, 6 are blue, and 3 are pink. You have a 5/14 chance to get a yellow marble, a 6/14 chance to get a blue marble, and a 3/14 chance to get a pink marble.
I hope that this helps :)
