3x - 8y = 24
y = x - 8
plz show work

the solution is (8, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this system of linear equations by substitution.  We are told that y = x - 8.  Substitute x - 8 for y in the first equation:

3x - 8(x - 8) = 24

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get

3x - 8x + 64 = 24.  Combining like terms results in:

-5x = -40, so that x = 8.

y = x - 8 (given above), so in this case y = 8 - 8 = 0

Thus the solution is (8, 0)

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
