3x + 5y = -9
2x + y = -34

2x + y = -34
y = -2x - 34

3x + 5y = -9
3x + 5(-2x - 34) = -9
3x - 10x - 170 = -9
-7x = -9 + 170
-7x = 161
-7x/-7 = 161/-7
x = - 23

y = -2x - 34
y = -2(23) - 34
y = 46 - 34
y = 12

to check: x = -23 ; y = 12
3x + 5y = -9
3(-23) + 5(12) = -9
-69 + 60 = -9
-9 = -9

2x + y = -34
2(-23) + 12 = -34
-46 + 12 = -34
-34 = -34

There are 24 possible answers, 6 are correct answers and 18 are incorrect answers. By use of the hypergeometric distribution the probabilities of each possible number of randomly selected correct answers can be found, as follows:
P(0) = 0.1379, P(1) = 0.3819, P(2) = 0.341, P(3) = 0.1213, P(4) = 0.017, P(5) = 0.0008, P(6) = 0.000007.
The expected or mean number of correct answers is found from:
$E(X)=0\times0.1379+1\times0.3819+2\times0.341+3\times0.1213+4\times0.017$ $+5\times0.0008+6\times0.000007=1.4998$
The answer is: 1.4998
