Answer:
The fractional probability of getting 2 heads is 1/4.
(7t-2) - (-3t+1) = -3*(1-3t)
First distribute:
7t-2+3t-1 = -3+9t
Now get all the terms with 't' on the same side by subtracting/adding:
7t+3t-9t = -3+2+1
Combine the terms:
1t=0
t=0
Check:
Plug in 0 for t and see if both sides of the equation come out the same:
Does (7(0)-2) - (-3(0)+1) = -3(1-3(0)) ?
(-2) - (1) = -3(1) ?
-3 = -3 ?
Yes! It works, so t=0!

Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.
Use the last equation to write an expression for z.
z = 4 -x +4y
Substitute this into the second equation:
y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13
y -16 +4x -16y = -13
4x -15y -3 = 0
In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...
3x +y +10 = 0
Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...
x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"
y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation
z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z
The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

First you have to have the absolute value isolated so the 2 has to be divided. Then set up the two cases and solve.
