Answer:

Since the first equation x is equal to 4y - 9, it is easier to substitute 4y - 9 in for x in the second equation.

x = -1 y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first equation x is equal to 4y - 9, it is easier to substitute 4y - 9 in for x in the second equation. That would give you

4y - 9 + 4y = 7

8y - 9 = 7

8y = 16

y = 2

x = 4y - 9 = 4(2) - 9 = 8 - 9 = -1

It is always a good idea to check and see if your results satisfy the two equations

Slav-nsk [51]

$\text{Answer} : \text{The expected value of a t-shirt is \$31.}$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The prices of three t-shirts styles i.e $24, $30, $36 with their probability is given by

$\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}$

As we know that,

$E(X)= \sum_{1}^{3}x_iP(x_i)$

$\text{where} x_i \text{ is the prices of t- shirts styles}$

Now,

$x_1= \$24 , x_2=\$30 , x_3=$36$

and

$P(x_1)=\frac{1}{6},P(x_2)=\frac{1}{2}, P(x_3)=\frac{1}{3}$

So,

$E(X)= 24\times \frac{1}{6}+30\times\frac{1}{2}+36\times \frac{1}{3}\\=4+15+12\\=31$

So, the expected value of a t-shirt = $31.
