Answer:

The solution is (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, reduce 2x + 4y = 12 to x + 2y = 6, for easier calculations.

Next, substitute y - 3 for x in the other equation:

y - 3 + 2y = 6, or

3y = 9

Then y = 3. Since x = y - 3 in general, x = 3 - 3 = 0 when y = 3.

The solution is (0, 3)

Let's solve ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{1}{b} + 10 = \cfrac{9}{b} + 7$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{9}{b} - \cfrac{1}{b} = 10 - 7$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{8}{b} = 3$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: b = \cfrac{8}{3}$

AnnyKZ [126]

First two rolls have to be 1-4 that is 2/3 chance twice and the third can be 4or 5
2/3*2/3*1/3 + the chance that the fourth is the 5 or 6.
2/3*2/3*2/3*1/3

So the solution is : P=2/3*2/3*1/3 + 2/3*2/3*2/3*1/3
