    solve for y

    y-6x=-1
    3y-5x=9

    1. Multiply each item in the first equation by -3.
    2. Add the two equations, item by item.
    3. Y will be eliminated. Solve for X

    Hi shauna1989! Welcome to AMHD! :)

    You should have started another thread for your question...

    Anyway, concerning your problem:

    You have 7 balls in all.
    The probability of having a green ball is 2/7.
    Now that you removed a ball, there are 6 left.
    The probability of having a red ball now is 5/6.

    Since it is one probability immediately followed by the other one without replacing the first ball, you multiply both probabilities: 2/7 * 5/6 = 10/42 = 5/21
