Case 1: Probabilities cannot add up to a number greater (or less) than 1. This would mean there is greater than a 100% chance of something happening which just doesn't make sense. 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1,1
Case 2: You cannot have a negative probability. That is claiming that there is a -10% chance of an event happening, there is at the very least a 0%. Despite them "adding" up to 1, the negative probability makes no sense.

So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8
so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6
Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2
