Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

24/52 because there are 6 even number in a 13 card section
2,4,6,8,10,12
and there are four of them so you multiply 6 by 4 to get 24
since you know there are 52 cards then you will place 24 over 52
you can simplify this fraction to 6/13 depending what you want

For the first question: The equation would be set up as 30=1/2(12x) Then solve for x. (Or just plug that formula into Desmos)
Answer: x=5
