Answer:
5+3a=29
Step-by-step explanation:
let Ella's age be 'a'
Vicki's age=5+2a
sum of their ages= 29
So, the equation is
(5+2a)+a=29
5+3a=29

Looks like a badly encoded/decoded symbol. It's supposed to be a minus sign, so you're asked to find the expectation of 2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>.
If you don't know how <em>X</em> or <em>Y</em> are distributed, but you know E[<em>X</em> ²] and E[<em>Y</em>], then it's as simple as distributing the expectation over the sum:
E[2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>] = 2 E[<em>X </em>²] - E[<em>Y</em>]
Or, if you're given the expectation and variance of <em>X</em>, you have
Var[<em>X</em>] = E[<em>X</em> ²] - E[<em>X</em>]²
→ E[2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>] = 2 (Var[<em>X</em>] + E[<em>X</em>]²) - E[<em>Y</em>]
Otherwise, you may be given the density function, or joint density, in which case you can determine the expectations by computing an integral or sum.
