The mathematical expression for x is is fewer than 9 is x< 9
Answer:
2/15
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a 4/10 probability that she chooses blue the first time, but the second time it is a 3/9 chance because she didn't put the marble back so there are 9 marbles in total, 3 blue ones.
4/10 x 3/9 = 2/5 x 1/3 = 2/15
I hope this helps :)
Edit: Messed up the multiplication, whoops!
3x + 1 = y
2x + 3y = 14
To solve this system of equations, we are going to use the substitution method. Substitution the equation where the variable is isolated into the second equation. In this system of equations, y is isolated, so we will replace y in the second equation with 3x + 1.
2x + 3y = 14
2x + 3(3x + 1) = 14
2x + 9x + 3 = 14
We will add the like terms and subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
11x + 3 = 14
11x = 11
x = 1
In this system of equations, x is equal to 1. Now we will go back and solve for y, plugging in 1 for x.
3(1) + 1 = y
2(1) + 3y = 14
3 + 1 = y
2 + 3y = 14
4 = y
3y = 2
4 = y
4 = y
The solution to this system of equations is (1, 4).
