I am completing a color sheet for my math class. I have a set of markers with 2 purples, 1 black, 3 reds, 2 yellows, and 2 blues. What is the probability that I will randomly select a red marker, keep it, and then randomly select a yellow marker?

A. 47/90

B. 3/10

C. 1/15

D. 2/9

First, we have to add them all together to get the total amount of markers.

2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10

Red: 3/10

Yellow: 2/9

3/10 x 2/9 = 6/90

Simplify: 6/90 = 1/15

C. 1/15 would be your answer.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
