Answer:

x = 5, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations:

x + 2y = 1
3x - y = 17

From the first equation we get:

x = 1 -2y

Substitute x in the second equation, find y:

3x - y = 17
3*(1-2y) - y = 17
3 - 6y - y = 17
-7y = 17 - 3
-7y = 14
y = -14/7
y = -2

Find x:

x = 1 - 2y
x = 1 - 2*(-2)
x = 1 + 4
x = 5

Only 5-8 It’s Probability

andrey2020 [161]

For starters, the probability of finding any of these colors is a 50/50 type of thing, or in this case, an equal quarter. So each would be 1/4, or 25%. Unless, of course, they're lying about having one or more colors of marbles in their possession. But I'm answering under the assumption that they're not.

What is the value of x? x = ___

gregori [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.

$\frac{12}{2x+1}=\frac{8}{x+4}$

To solve for x, cross multiply:

12(x+4) = (2x+1)(8)

12x + 48 = 16x + 8

48 = 4x + 8

40 = 4x

10 = x
