You can use the formula for conditional probability as Puzzling did. However in this problem it is easier just to restrict yourself and enumerate the cases that are left.
<span>There are 4 jacks. One of them is a heart. So the probability is 1/4. </span>
<span>If you want to look at what the formula for conditional probability does, it adjusts your probability by restricting the "universe". </span>
<span>P(heart and jack)/P(jack) </span>
<span>= (1/52)/(4/52) = 1/4</span>

Complete Question
The Henderson Hawks minor-league baseball team is giving away baseballs an
game. The balls cost $3 each and the towels cost $2 each. The team wants to give away 200 items and have 500 to spend. How many of each item should the team give away Show your
work or explain your reasoning.
Answer:
They should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of balls = x
Let the number of towels = y
x + y = 200........ Equation 1
y = 200 - x
$3 × x + $2 × y = $5000
3x + 2y = 5000...... Equation 2
3x + 2(200 - x)= 5000
3x + 400 - 2x = 5000
Collect like terms
3x - 2x = 500 - 400
x = 100
Number of balls to be given away = 100
Note:
y = 200 - x
y = 200 - 100
y = 100
Number of towels to be given away = 100
Therefore, they should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
Answer:
14) x = 30°
15) x = 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
14) 60 + x = 90
x = 90 - 60
x = 30°
15) 130 + x = 180
x = 180 - 130
x = 50°
Hope this helps
While you cannot solve 946x+642y=911 for numerical values of x and y, you can indeed solve 946x+642y=911 first for x and then for y:
-911 - 642y
For x: 946x+642y=911 becomes 946x = 911 - 642y, or x = ------------------
946
911-946x
For y: 946x+642y=911 becomes 642y = 911-946x, or y = ---------------
642
