Will GiVE BRAINLIEST A carpenter uses two different types of paint in his work, X-Brand and Y-Brand (represented by the x and y variables respectively in the system of equations below). The system of equations represents the total cost and amount of paint he purchased for a client. Determine the cost, in dollars, of the X-Brand.
2x+5y=6
−x+2y=−3

Answer

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x value, you want to cancel out the y terms in the equations. To do so, multiply (2x+5y=6) by 2, and (-x+2y=-3) by -5. This gives you

4x+10y=12

5x-10y=15

You can then cancel out the y terms and add the other terms from the 2 equations together to make

9x=27

You then divide 27 by 9 to get 3 as the value for x.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

a. is correct
