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

Answer:

12/25

Step-by-step explanation:

If you got 26 tails, that means you got 50 - 26 or 24 heads. The experimental probability can be represented by the desirable flips over the total number of flips. We are looking for heads, so the amount of heads is the amount of desirable flips, and the total is 50. From this, we get the fraction 24/50 which simplifies to 12/25.
