Answer:

All you need to do is make sure the first expression is solved for y (which it is), and then substitute it into the second expression in place of any occurrences of y:

given the second expression:

x - y = 1

We'll replace y with it's value in the first expression:

x - (y) = 1

x - (5 - 2x) = 1

Now we can expand the resulting equation:

x - 5 + 2x = 1

So <em>neither</em> of the answers provided are correct.

You can then solve for x:

x - 5 + 2x = 1

x - 5 + 5 + 2x = 1 + 5

x + 2x = 6

3x = 6

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

After that, you can find y by plugging x into either of the two original equations:

y = 5 - 2x

y = 5 - 2(2)

y = 5 - 4

y = 1

How can probabilities be used to make fair decisions?

he magician starts with the birthday boy and moves clockwise, passing out 100100100100 pieces of paper numbered 1111 through 100100100100. He cycles around the circle until all the pieces are distributed. He then uses a random number generator to pick an integer 1111 through 100100100100, and chooses the volunteer with that number.

Method2: The magician starts with the birthday boy and moves counter-clockwise, passing out 75757575 pieces of paper numbered 1111 through 75757575. He cycles around the circle until all the pieces are distributed. He then uses a random number generator to pick an integer 1111 through 75757575, and chooses the volunteer with that number.

Method 3\: The magician starts with the birthday boy and moves clockwise, passing out 30303030 pieces of paper numbered 1111 through 30303030. He cycles around the circle until all the pieces are distributed. He gives #1111 to the birthday boy, #2222 to the next kid, and so on. He then counts the number of windows in the room and chooses the volunteer with that number.

yes probabilites can be used to make fair ones
