Answer:

x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - y = -7

4x + 2y = – 14

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(5x - y) = 2*-7

10x -2y = -14

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

10x -2y = -14

4x + 2y = – 14

---------------------------

14x = -28

Divide by 14

14x/14 = -28/14

x = -2

Now find y

4x+2y = -14

4*-2 +2y = -14

-8+2y = -14

Add 8 to each side

2y = -6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -6/2

y = -3

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ x=-2, \ y=-3 \  \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

<u>I assume that you want to solve this system of two equations</u>

   (1) 5x - y  = -7

   (2) 4x + 2y = -14

We will multiply (1) by 2 and add to (2) so that we can eliminate the terms in y

2*(1)+(2) gives

   10x - 2y + 4x + 2y = -7*2 -14 = -14 - 14 = -28

   <=>

   14x = - 28 we can divide by 14 both parts

   x = -28/14 = -2

and then we replace x in (1)

   5*(-2)-y=-7

   -10-y=-7 add 7

   -10-y+7=0

   -3-y=0 add y

   -3 = y

which is equivalent to y = -3

do not hesitate if you have any question

The time to fly between New York City and Chicago is uniformly distributed with a minimum of 120 minutes and a maximum of 150 mi
lara [203]

Answer:

a) 33.33%)

b) 135 minutes

c) 8.66 min

d) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the probability for a uniform distribution is

P(b<X<a) = (a-b)/(c-d) , where c and d are the maximum and minimum values

therefore the probability that the flight is more than 140 minutes ( and less than 150 since it is the maximum value)

P(140<X<150) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (150-140)/(150-120) = 10/30 = 1/3 (33.33%)

b) the mean (expected value) for a uniform probability distribution is

E(X) = (c+d)/2 = (120+150)/2 = 135 minutes

c)  the standard deviation for a uniform probability distribution is

σ²(X)= (c-d)²/12 = (150-120)²/12 = 75 min²

σ = √75 min² = 8.66 min

b) following the same procedure as in a)

P(120<X<135) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (135-120)/(150-120) = 15/30 = 1/2 (50%)
