<h3>Answer: d. w = -6</h3>
There should be sixteen branches. There are four possible suits for the first card, hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades. Then each of those four branches has four branches for the second card drawn. 4*4 = 16.
You could multiply the two numbers to get a product of 15.98 pounds.
a. The first variable is x and the second variable is y.
b. The equations are
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The first step is to define the variables. The variables can be any two symbols, letters, characters, etc.
Here let the first variable be x and the let the second variable be y.
So the variables are defined as x and y.
Step 2:
The sum of the given variables is 12.
The first variable + the second variable = 12,

The difference between the two variables is 4.
The first variable - the second variable = 4.

Step 3:
If we add both the equations we get,
and 
x = 8 and y = 4.
