3-5y= 2x
-5y= 2x-3
y= (-2/5)x + 3/5
y + 2 = (-2/5)(x + 3)
y + 2 = (-2/5)x - (6/5)
y + 10/5 = (-2/5)x - 6/5
y = (-2/5)x - 16/5 is the answer
        
             
        
        
        
16 pieces may be cut. This is because we need to divide 36 by 2 and 1/4 to find how many pieces hat can be cut. First, we need to change everything into a fraction (or improper fraction). 2 and 1/4 = 9/4 (if you need help trying to find out how to get this, just ask). Then, since we are doing division, we flip the 9/4 around to get 4/9. 36 times (it's not dividing anymore since we flipped the 9/4) 4/9 = 16 pieces. I hope this helps! :D

All you have to do is divide 4 by 6.  
        
             
        
        
        
I believe this has to do with theoretical and experimental probabilities.
Experimental probabilities are what actually happens and theoretical probabilities are what is expected to happen.
A coin landing on tails 8 out of 10 times....this is experimental probability
results based on an experiment....this is experimental probability
outcomes that should happen....this is theoretical probability
rolling a sum of 9 in 5 trials....this is experimental probability
so the one that is the odd ball is : outcomes that should happen
