I just tried to help someone with the same problems. I hope this helps you
You want to use the addition property, so you need to ADD each term. Just change the minuses to pluses, making sure you keep the negative with the number
5x-8x-7y+y =
5x + -8x + -7y +y
Answer:The correct answer is A, 14%.
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is take the 30% chance of you HAVING to stop at the first light and find the chance that you won't have to stop at the first light, which is 70%, or .7. Then you take the chance of having to stop at the second light which is 80%, and find the probability of NOT having to stop there, which is 20%, or .2. Then you multiply the probabilities of not having to stop, which equals to .14.
Adding both equations cancels y:
<span>4x + 8y = 16
</span><span>4x - 8y = 0
-----------------+
8x = 16 => x=2
filling in x=2 in the first equation gives:
4*2 + 8y = 16 => 8y = 8 => y=1
So (2,1) is the (x,y) pair that solves the two equations. Answer C.</span>
