Answer:

2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

For a deck of card

Total cards = 52

Total spade = 4

Total diamond = 4

pr(drawing a spade) = number of spade/total cards

pr(drawing a spade) = 4/52 = 1/13

pr(drawing a diamond)  = 4/52 = 1/13

Pr(diamond or a spade) = 1/13 + 1/13 = 2/13

For what value of a should you solve the system of elimination?

\begin{bmatrix}3x+5y=10\\ 2x+ay=4\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Multiply\:}3x+5y=10\mathrm{\:by\:}2: 6x+10y=20
\mathrm{Multiply\:}2x+ay=4\mathrm{\:by\:}3: 3ay+6x=12

\begin{bmatrix}6x+10y=20\\ 6x+3ay=12\end{bmatrix}

6x + 3ay = 12
