To answer this question, you should set up and equation before doing anything else. So for this question you 're going to set up two equations.
The first equation is 2x+5y=33
The second equation is 8x+3y=30
Once you do that you have to solve for either X or Y by canceling out the other one. In this problem figuring out the Y is easier because you can cancel the X's more easily than the Y. To cancel a variable, they have to add up to 0.
So to cancel the X you multiply the equation 2x+5y=33 by -4.
That gives you -8x-20y= -132
Then you set up the two equations and add them together.
(-8x-20y= -132) + (8x+3y=30)
That gives you -17y = -102
So then you solve for Y by dividing by -17. You find out that Y is equal to 6. Then you plug the 6 back into the ORIGINAL equations and solve for X, which turns out to be 1.5
Hope this helped and if you get confused or have questions please ask :)
If we simply it, then it would be
3 + 2x + 6 + x = 15, which equals
3x + 6 + 3 = 15,
3x + 9 = 15,
if we subtract 9 from 15, we get 6. If we divide 3x by 3, and 6 by 3, we get 2.
Therefore x = 2, and we know there is a 10/15 chance to get a humbug, or a 1/3 chance.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the 30 is term #1 ..... The 'n'th term of the series is. T(n) = 33 - 3n or 3 (11 - n).
The answer to this question would be 3d-2=31 and d=11
