Solve the first equation for y.

3x+y=2

y=2-3x

Substitute

4x+(2-3x)=20

4x+2-3x=20

x=18

So you want to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations. Using the first equation, we can make 3x+y=2 y=2-3x.
Then plug y=2-3x into the second equation:
4x+(2-3x)=20
Then solve.
x+2=20
x=18
Finally, plug the x value back into any of the two equations to find y. This is essential to get full credit!
4(18)+y=20
72+y=20
y= -52

x=18
y= -52

Answer:

x=18 is not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

18+9=27 but this is saying it has to be less than 27 so this is not a solution

A bowl contains 4 red marbles and 3 yellow marbles. Tim randomly draws 3 red marbles from the bowl. He replaces each marble afte

mr Goodwill [35]

So,

The probability of drawing a yellow marble is $\frac{3}{7}$ .
Since he replaces the marble after it is drawn out, the probability of drawing another yellow is the same: $\frac{3}{7}$ .

The probability of drawing a red marble is $\frac{4}{7}$ .

In order to get the probability of drawing 2 yellow marbles and 1 red marble, given that each marble is replaced after it is drawn out, we must multiply the fractions together.

$( \frac{3}{7} )( \frac{3}{7} )( \frac{4}{7} ) = \frac{36}{343}$

Because the order of the marbles doesn't matter, we will multiply the probability by 3.
$3( \frac{36}{343} ) = \frac{108}{343}$
