Answer:x = 1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as

3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

6x - 10y = - 4

6x + 3y = 9

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13y = - 13

y = - 13/- 13 = 1

The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.

Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 1 = 3

2x = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2/2 = 1

Answer:

The correct answer is " $0.300993e^{-0.300993x}$ ".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

⇒ $P(x>4)=0.3$

We know that,

⇒ $P(X > x) = e^{(-\lambda\times x)}$

⇒ $e^{(-\lambda\times 4)} = 0.3$

∵ $\lambda = 0.300993$

Now,

⇒ $f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}$

By putting the value, we get

$=0.300993e^{-0.300993x}$

1 - The value of p in the equation is p = 0.

2 - The simplified form of the equation is 3x = 1, the reason behind this is when you do the equation, you get x = 1/3. When you do the equation 3x = 1 you get x = 1/3 as well.

3 - The value of z in the equation is z = 13.

4 - In order to figure out what step he did something wrong on, we first need to solve the problem, the answer we will get is x = 2.
To do this the easy way, we can solve each step, and see what one wouldn't equal 2, which the step he did wrong is Step 2.
So, to do Step 2 correctly, it would be: Step 2 - 12x − 6 = 14 + 2x.
