Which steps could be part of the process in algebraically solving the system of equations, y+5x=x^2+10 and y=4x-10

Amotorboat maintained a constant speed of 12 miles per hour relative to the water in going 45 miles upstream and then returning. the total time for the trip was 8.0 hours. use this information to find the speed of the current.

The random variable x has probability density function f (x) = k(−x²+5x−4) 1 ≤ x ≤ 4 or =0 1 show that k = 2/9 find 2 e(x), 3 the mode of x, 4 the cumulative distribution function f(x) for all x. 5 evaluate p(x ≤ 2.5). 6 deduce the value of the median and comment on the shape of the distribution.
