Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then 
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8

Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40

Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5

Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8   ok.

Simplify and solve each equation for the x
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x+1-x)=6

2(x+1)=6               add common factors

2x+2=6                distribute the 2

2x=4                     subrtract 2 on both sides

x=2                        divide 2 on both sides

A plastic sack contains 20 green and yellow, 14 red and yellow, and 16 orange and yellow gummy treats. How much greater is the p
noname [10]

Answer:

Probability of choosing green and yellow treat  is higher than Probability of choosing an orange and yellow treat  by 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Green and yellow gummy treats = 20

Red and yellow gummy treats = 14

Orange and yellow gummy treats = 16

Total gummy treat = 20+14+16 = 50

Probability of choosing green and yellow treat = 20/50 = 0.4

Probability of choosing an orange and yellow treat = 16/50 = 0.32

Probability of choosing green and yellow treat  is higher than Probability of choosing an orange and yellow treat  by 0.08
