Good morning Stacy

3x - 4y = -24
x + y = -1
We need to solve x + y = -1 for x
x = -1 - y( I transferred the y in the right side)
Substitute -y -1 for x in 3x -4y = -24
3x - 4y = -24
3(-y-1) -4y = -24
You just need to simplify
-7y -3 = -24
-7y = -24 + 3
-7y = -21
y= -21/-7
y= 3
Now substitute 3 for y in x= -y -1
x= -y-1
x = -3 -1
x= -4

Answer : x = -4 and y=3
The correct option is D

I hope that's help and if you have questions about my answer please ask. Thx

Eliminate y's
multiply second equaiton by 4
4x+4y=-4

add to first equation

3x-4y=-24
<u>4x+4y=-4 +</u>
7x+0y=-28

7x=-28
divide both sides by 7
x=-4
sub back

x+y=-1
-4+y=-1
add 4 to both sides
y=3

(x,y)
(-4,3)
D is answer

Answer:

The expected number of keys she will try before she opens the door is 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A woman has eight keys on a key ring, one of which fits the door she wants to unlock.

Each of them is equally as likely to be the one to work, which means that this situation is represented by an uniform distribution with lower bound $a = 1$ and upper bound $b = 8$ .

Find the expected number of keys she will try before she opens the door.

The expected value of the uniform distribution is given by:

$E = \frac{a + b}{2}$

Considering $a = 1, b = 8$ , as is the case in this exercise:

$E = \frac{1 + 8}{2} = 4.5$

The expected number of keys she will try before she opens the door is 4.5.
