2x + y = 3
3x - y = 12
Add both equations
5x = 15, x = 3
2(3) + y = 3
6 + y = 3, y = -3
Solution: x = 3, y = -3... or (3,-3)
Answer:
We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

For this case we have that:

And we see that 
So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can define the following events:
A= In a certain computer a memory failure
B= In a certain computer a hard disk failure
We have the probability for the two events given on this case:

We also know the probability that the memory and the hard drive fail simultaneously given by:

And we want to check if the two events are independent.
We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

The answer is -7
The arrows both point toward the left side, and sine there are seven spaces the arrows are going through, you subtract 7 spaces and get -7
Hope that helps.
It starts becoming bigger :)
