First make sure that one of the variable has the same coefficient in each equations.
For example lets use:
y=x+3
2y=3x-1
Since neither the y's or x's are the same, we must multiply the equations to make them the same. I am going to multiply the first equation by 2 so I can eliminate the y's.
So we get:
2y=2x+3
2y=3x-1
Then we subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate the y's. So we end up with 0=-x+4 and now we solve for x
0=-x+4
x=4
Now we plug in our x into either original to get the y-value. I am using the first
y=x+3
y=4+3
So the x=4 and y=7
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Jerry Adams normally pays $875 for bodily injury and property damage insurance. His insurance company increases premiums by 150% for 1 accident, 200% for 2-3 accidents, and 250% for 4 accidents. Find ... If the probability that he will live through the year is 0.9989, what is the expected value for the insurance policy?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS
anything done in the parentheses comes first
so you have to add first then multiply
this is not the distributive property unless the two numbers in parentheses are not like terms
