Answer:
(1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 3y = -8
3x + y = 6
Isolate a variable in one of the equations:
y = 6 - 3x
Substitute the value of y into the other equation:
x - 3(6 - 3x) = -8
Use distributive property:
x - 18 + 9x = -8
Combine like terms:
10x - 18 = -8
Isolate the variable:
10x = 10
x = 1
Substitute the value of x into any equation:
3(1) + y = 6
3 + y = 6
Isolate the variable:
y = 3
Lets say that the first number is x and the second number is y.
from the question we know that:
y=-3x and x+y=-4
from there, you need to replace the y in the second equation with -3x since we know that is what y equals so we can have an equation with only one variable.
x+-3x+-4
Then you solve for x.
-2x=-4
x=2
then you find y with the fact that y=-3x
y=-6
Answer:
As a fraction, the answer is exactly 86/969
In decimal form, the answer is approximately 0.08875
=====================================================
Work Shown:
The assumption is that no replacements are made for each selection.
5 red, 6 blue, 8 green
5+6+8 = 19 total
A = P(3 red) = (5/19)*(4/18)*(3/17) = 10/969
B = P(3 blue) = (6/19)*(5/18)*(4/17) = 20/969
C = P(3 green) = (8/19)*(7/18)*(6/17) = 56/969
D = P(3 all same color)
D = A+B+C
D = 10/969 + 20/969 + 56/969
D = (10+20+56)/969
D = 86/969
D = 0.08875
