Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you let y=2x, you can plug it into the other equation.
x+2x=-9
Then solve that equation.
3x=-9
x=-3
Then use y=2x to find y.
y=2(-3)=-6
y=-6
<span>The ways to make a 7 with 2 die is:
(1) 6 and 1
(2) 1 and 6
(3) 2 and 5
(4) 5 and 2
(5) 3 and 4
(6) 4 and 3
There are 6 ways to make a 7 with the 2 die,
but there is only 1 way to make 7 if the 1st
die comes up 6.
The probability of getting
(1) 6 and 1 is 1/6</span>
128 / 4 =32
Mr Bentleys tie is $32
Mr. Vander Heydens is $96

You just subtract 3 from each side and then simplify (12 - 3) which is 9.
The final result is:
x ≥ 9.
