Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
All other things being equal, spinner A is fine. It is a fair spinner.
Spinner B is not fair. Players 1 and 3 have only 1 number each. Player 2 on the other hand, has 2 numbers that work for him. If player 2 puts in two dollars and players 1 and 3 one dollar each, that should even up the odds. Now you want it just to be fair. So I think player 2 has to put up 2 dollars and players 1 and 3 each put up one. The pot is 4 dollars each time it is played.
Spinner 3 is not fair either. Player one has 2 chances. Player 2 has 3 chances and player 3 has but one chance. There are 6 chances in all. Player 1 should put up 2 dollars to play player 1 should put up 3 dollars and player 1 should put up 1 dollar.

Answer:
x=-4 y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite equations:
x=−4y+16;3x+4y=8
Step: Solvex=−4y+16for x:
x=−4y+16
Step: Substitute−4y+16forxin3x+4y=8:
3x+4y=8
3(−4y+16)+4y=8
−8y+48=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−8y+48+−48=8+−48(Add -48 to both sides)
−8y=−40
−8y
−8
=
−40
−8
(Divide both sides by -8)
y=5
Step: Substitute5foryinx=−4y+16:
x=−4y+16
x=(−4)(5)+16
x=−4(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−4 and y=5
