The solutions to the given system of equations is (0, -6) and (1, -5)
<h3>Simultaneous equations</h3>
From the question, we are to determine the solutions to the given system of equations
The equations are
x − y = 6 --------- (1)
y = x² −6 ---------- (2)
From equation (1)
x - y = 6
∴ x = 6 + y ------- (3)
Substitute into equation (2)
y = x² −6
y = (6+y)² −6
y = (6+y)(6+y) -6
y = 36 + 6y + 6y +y² -6
y = 36 + 12y + y² - 6
Simplifying
y² + 12y - y + 30 = 0
y² + 11y + 30 = 0
Solve quadratically
y² + 11y + 30 = 0
y² + 6y + 5y + 30 = 0
y(y +6) +5 (y +6) = 0
(y + 5)(y + 6) = 0
y + 5 = 0 OR y + 6 = 0
y = -5 OR y = -6
Substitute the values of y into equation (3)
x = 6 + y
When y = -5
x = 6 + (-5)
x = 6 -5
x = 1
When y = -6
x = 6 + (-6)
x = 6 -6
x = 0
∴ When x = 0, y = -6 and when x = 1, y = -5
Hence, the solutions to the given system of equations is (0, -6) and (1, -5)

Answer:
a) X ~ 
b) μ = 100/3
c) 
d) A battery is expected to last 100/3 months (33 months and 10 days approximately).
e) For seven batteries, i would expect them to last 700/3 months (approximately 19 years, 5 months and 10 days).
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The life of a battery is usually modeled with an exponential distribution X ~
b) The mean of X is μ = 1/0.03 = 100/3
c) The standard deviation is 
d) The expected value of the bateery life is equal to its mean, hence it is 100/3 months.
e) The expected value of 7 (independent) batteries is the sum of the expected values of each one, hence it is 7*100/3 = 700/3 months.
A minute has 60 seconds, therefore we will deal with seconds now
And since we have it that the biker travels 5 feet every 0.5 seconds, lets multiply that by 2 to get the traveled distance per second to make it easier
5*2=10
Finally, multiply 10 feet by 60 seconds(1 minute)
= 600 feet
