X*y=72
x = 5y-2
x=72/y
72/y=5y-2
72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18
(18,4)

Step-by-step explanation:
4×13=52 inches
I like to think of the - or under as the less likely to happen like a cat beating up a bear u don’t want to put your money on the cat so everyone puts there money on the bear making the bear the over and the cat the under
To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for
probability is:
Probability = total number of successful events / total
events
Where in this case, an event is considered to be successful
if the sum is 3 on the pair of six sided dice.
First, let us calculate for the total number of events. There
are 6 numbers per dice, therefore the total number of combinations is:
total events = 6 * 6 = 36
Next, we calculate for the total number of combinations
that result in a sum of 3. We can identify that there are only two cases that
result in sum of 3. That is:
1st case: first dice rolls 1, second dice
rolls 2
2nd case: first dice rolls 2, second dice
rolls 1
Hence, total number of successful events = 2. Therefore the
probability is:
Probability = 2 / 36 = 1 / 18 = 0.0556 = 5.56%
