Answer:

Your solution is (-10/7, 92/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + y = -4

y = 2x + 16

To use substitution, we want to plug one variable's equation into the other equation.

We can see that y is already solved for us. Plug y into the first equation.

12x + y = -4

12x + (2x + 16) = -4

Combine like terms.

14x + 16 = -4

Subtract 16 from both sides.

14x = -20

Divide both sides by 14.

x = -20/14

x = -10/7

Now that we know x, we will plug it into one of the other equations.

y = 2x + 16

y = 2(-10/7) + 16

Multiply.

y = -20/7 + 16

Add.

y = -20/7 + 112/7

y = 92/7

Your solution is (-10/7, 92/7)

Hope this helps!

mr Goodwill [35]

0.92

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 cards in a deck of 52 cards that has a face value of 3. That means that the other 48 cards don't have a face value of 3. Therefore, the probability of picking a card of this deck that doesn't have a face value of 3 is

P =\dfrac{48}{52} = 0.92
