2 x - 5 y = 18  / * 4
3 x + 4 y = 4   / * 5  ( we will use the addition method )
--------------------------
 8 x - 20 y = 72
+
15 x + 20 y = 20
----------------------- 
23 x = 92
x = 92 : 23
x = 4
8 - 5 y = 18
- 5 y = 18 - 8
- 5 y = 10
y = 10  : ( - 5 ) 
y = - 2
Answer:
( x, y ) = ( 4, - 2 )

jekas [21]

Assuming There is ONLY ONE CORRECT ANSWER,

The probability of her guessing the answer without ruling out the choices is 1/5.

if 3 choices are ruled out, then 1 out of the remaining two is right, which gives the probability 1/2

now, 1/5 = 20% , while 1/2 = 50%.

Therefore her probability of getting the correct answer improves by 30% [ not much in a REAL test though :P ]
