The ordered pair is (–1, –2)

Solution:

Given system of linear equations are

4x –7y = 10 – – – – (1)

3x + 2y = –7 – – – – (2)

To solve this by elimination method.

First multiply equation (1) by 3 and then multiply equation (2) by 4.

(1) × 3 ⇒ 12x –21y = 30 – – – – (3)

(2) × 4 ⇒ 12x + 8y = –28 – – – – (4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3), we get

⇒ 12x –21y – (12x + 8y) = 30 – (–28)

⇒ 12x –21y – 12x – 8y = 30 + 28

Combine like terms together.

⇒ 12x – 12x –21y – 8y = 30 + 28

⇒ –29y = 58

Divide both sides by –29, we get

⇒ y = –2

Substitute y = –2 in equation (1), we get

(1) ⇒ 4x –7y = 10

⇒ 4x – 7(–2) = 10

⇒ 4x + 14 = 10

⇒ 4x = 10 – 14

⇒ 4x = –4

Divide both side by 4, we get

⇒ x = –1

Hence the ordered pair for the given system of equations is (–1, –2).

Answer:

0.2528 = 25.28% probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each property, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are sold, or they are not. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
