Answer:

y=5/7 x=31/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the x values the opposite of each other:

-2(x+5y=8)

-2x-10y=-16

2x+3y=9

Combine like terms and solve for y:

-7y=-5

y=5/7

Plug y in to find x.

x+5(5/7)=8

x+25/7=8

56/7-25/7=x

x=31/7

Rainbow [258]

Answer: $63.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of winning is $\frac{1}{38}$ . Which means that it would take 38 spins to win one time.

Since the average player spins 60 times then the number of wins is:

$\frac{1}{38}x 60$ = 1.58

So, the average person wins: ($700 + $20) x 1.58 = $720(1.58) = $1136.84

and the average person spends: $20 x 60 spins = $1200.00

The net gain for the house is $1200.00 - $1136.84 = $63.16
