Answer:
x = 4 , y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 14 → (1)
x + y = 5 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 2x - 2y = - 10 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (2) and evaluate for y
4 + y = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
y = 1
At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.
adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.
adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.

x = 16
Answer:
7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 ÷ 1/3
Change the mixed number to an improper fraction
2 1/2 = (2*2+1)/2 = 5/2
5/2 ÷ 1/3
Copy dot flip
5/2 *3/1 = 15/2
Changing back to a mixed number
2 goes into 15 7 times with 1 left over
7 1/2
If an integer is chosen between 1 and 50 inclusive, you have 50 numbers total to deal with, so 50 is in the denominator of our ratio (fraction). All the numbers divisible by 3 in that interval total 16 numbers. So the ratio would be 16/50 for a percentage of 32%
