The average is found by adding the numbers and dividing by 2.
Since the average is 17, the total of the two numbers must equal 17 x 2 = 34.
One number is given as 11, so subtract 11 from 34:
34 - 11 = 23
The other number is 23.
Too check: add 11 and 23 and then divide by 2:
11 + 23 = 34
34/2 = 17.
+8y and -8y cross out.
So the first one is 3x=15
Second one is 2x=10
x=5
Then plug x is one of the equations
2(5)-8y=10
10-8y=10
x=5
y=0
You would distribute then combine like terms to get your answer.
Answer:
0.632
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a homeowner is three times as likely to purchase additional jewelry coverage as additional electronics coverage
If probability of purchasing additional electronics coverage = p, then prob of purchasing jewelry coverage = 3p
The two events are independent hence joint probability is product of these two.
i.e. P(both) = 
This is given as 0.2

the probability that a homeowner purchases exactly one coverage.

= Prob he purchases I + prob he purchases II-2(prob he purchases both)
