The answer: x=857 and y=-401

Set up the two equations

X+2y=55
2x+y=1313

Solve the system of equations by elimination

2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110

Add each of the corresponding terms together

-3y=1203

Divide by -3

Y=-401

Plug y back into one of the original equations

X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857

Answer:  (i) 1/221     (ii) 11/221      (iii) 95/663        (iv) 1/663

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(i) A deck of cards contains 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Kings out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 3 remaining Kings out of 51 total remaining cards  →  3/51 = 1/17

  <u>1st Draw </u>                   <u>2nd Draw </u>                  <u>Outcome</u>         <u>Probability</u>

 King: P(K) = 1/13        King: P(K₂/K₁) = 1/17     King, King       (1/13) x (1/17) = 1/221

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Jacks, 4 Queens, & 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 12 Face cards out of 52 total cards → 12/52 = 3/13

2nd draw: 11 remaining Face cards out of 51 total remaining cards  →  11/51

<u>1st Draw </u>                 <u>2nd Draw </u>                  <u>Outcome</u>       <u>Probability</u>

 Face: P(F) = 3/13    Face: P(F₂/F₁) = 11/51   Face,Face     (3/13) x (11/51) = 11/221

*************************************************************************************************

(iiI) A deck of cards contains 26 black cards out of 52 total cards but there are 2 black Jacks, 2 black Queens, and 2 black Kings.

1st draw: 20 Black (not Face) cards out of 52 total cards → 20/52 = 5/13

2nd draw: 19 remaining Black (not Face) cards out of 51 total remaining cards  →  19/51

  <u>1st Draw </u>                 <u>2nd Draw </u>                       <u>Outcome</u>   <u>Probability</u>

Black: P(B~) = 5/13   Black: P(B~₂/B~₁) = 19/51    B~,B~    (5/13) x (19/51) = 95/663

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Aces out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Aces out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 1 Queen of Hearts out of 51 total remaining cards  →  1/51

  <u>1st Draw </u>                 <u>2nd Draw </u>                   <u>Outcome</u>         <u>Probability</u>

 Ace: P(A) = 1/13      Qh: P(Qh₂/A₁) = 1/51   Ace,Queen(h)   (1/13) x (1/51) = 1/663
