Answer:
x = -1 y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = −4
x + 5y = −6
Multiply the first equation by -1
-x - 3y = 4
The add to the second equation to eliminate x
-x - 3y = 4
x + 5y = −6
--------------------
2y = -2
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -2/2
y = -1
Now solve for x
x+3y = -4
x +3(-1) = -4
x -3 = -4
Add 3 to each side
x-3+3 = -4+3
x = -1

Answer:
Approximately 
(
.) (Assume that the choices of the 
passengers are independent. Also assume that the probability that a passenger chooses a particular floor is the same for all 
floors.)
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is no requirement that no two passengers exit at the same floor, each of these passenger could choose from any one of the floors. There would be a total of 
unique ways for these 
passengers to exit the elevator.
Assume that no two passengers are allowed to exit at the same floor.
The first passenger could choose from any of the floors.
However, the second passenger would not be able to choose the same floor as the first passenger. Thus, the second passenger would have to choose from only 
floors.
Likewise, the third passenger would have to choose from only 
floors.
Thus, under the requirement that no two passenger could exit at the same floor, there would be only 
unique ways for these two passengers to exit the elevator.
By the assumption that the choices of the passengers are independent and uniform across the floors. Each of these 
combinations would be equally likely.
Thus, the probability that the chosen combination satisfies the requirements (no two passengers exit at the same floor) would be:
.
36 1/2 = 6
Given: the exponential expression
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 -2kx +7k -12 = 0
two equal roots -->Δ = b^2 -4ac = 4k^2 - 4(7k-12)=0 = 4(k^2 - 7k +12)=4(k-4)(k-3)=0
so k =3 and k =4
