The usual methods of solving a system of equations involve <em>elimination</em> or <em>substitution</em>.
There is another method that is relatively easy to use. It is a variation of "Cramer's Rule" and is fully equivalent to <em>elimination</em>. It makes use of a formula applied to the equation coefficients. The pattern of coefficients in the formula, and the formula itself are shown in the third attachment. I like this when the coefficient numbers are "too messy" for elimination or substitution to be used easily. It makes use of the equations in standard form.
_____
1. In standard form, your equations are ...
- 2x -3y = -9
- 5x +2y = 25
Then the solution is ...
__
2. In standard form, your equations are ...
- 3x +2y = 7
- 2x +5y = 12
Then the solution is ...

<em>Note on Cramer's Rule</em>
The equation you will see for Cramer's Rule applied to a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns will have the terms in numerator and denominator swapped: ec-bf, for example, instead of bf-ec. This effectively multiplies both numerator and denominator by -1, so has no effect on the result.
The reason for writing the formula in the fashion shown here is that it makes the pattern of multiplications and subtractions easier to remember. Often, you can do the math in your head. This is the method taught by "Vedic maths" and/or "Singapore math." Those teaching methods tend to place more emphasis on mental arithmetic than we do in the US.
Answer:
The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player will make it, or he will miss it. The probability of a player making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, 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.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws.
This means that
Probability of the player making the next 2 free throws:
This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So
Find the expected value of the proposition:
0.4095 probability of you paying $31(losing $31), which is when the player makes the next 2 free throws.
1 - 0.4059 = 0.5905 probability of you being paid $21(earning $21), which is when the player does not make the next 2 free throws. So
The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.
