Answer:
The value of the proposition is FALSE
Step-by-step explanation:
~[(A ⊃ Y) v ~(X ⊃ B)] ⋅ [~(A ≡ ~X) v (B ⊃ X)]
Let's start with the smallest part: ~X. The symbol ~ is negation when X is true with the negation is false and vice-versa. In this case, ~X is true (T)
~[(A ⊃ Y) v ~(X ⊃ B)] ⋅ [~(A ≡ T) v (B ⊃ X)]
Now the parts inside parenthesis: (A ⊃ Y),(X ⊃ B),(A ≡ T) and (B ⊃ X). The symbol ⊃ is the conditional and A ⊃ Y is false when Y is false and A is true, in any other case is true. The symbol ≡ is the biconditional and A ≡ Y is true when both A and Y are true or when both are false.
(A ⊃ Y) is False (F)
(X ⊃ B) is True (T)
(A ≡ T) is True (T)
(B ⊃ X) is False (F)
~[(F) v ~(T)] ⋅ [~(T) v (F)]
The two negations inside the brackets must be taken into account:
~[(F) v F] ⋅ [F v (F)]
The symbol left inside the brackets v is the disjunction, and A v Y is false only with both are false. F v (F) is False.
~[F] ⋅ [F]
Again considerating the negation:
T⋅ [F]
Finally, the symbol ⋅ is the conjunction, and A v Y is true only with both are true.
T⋅ [F] is False.

Answer:
(8, 5) (Answer C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Write this system of linear equations in a (vertical) column:
4x - 3y = 17
5x + 4y = 60
Let's eliminate y through addition/subtraction:
Multiply 4x - 3y = 17 by 4, obtaining 16x - 12y = 68, and
multiply 5x + 4y = 60 by 3, obtaining 15x + 12y = 180. Then we have:
16x - 12y = 68
15x + 12y = 180
----------------------
31x = 248, and so x = 248/31 = 8.
Now find y. Substitute 8 for x in 5x + 4y = 60: 5(8) + 4y = 60, or
4y = 60 - 40 = 20.
Thus, y = 20/4, or y = 5.
The solution is (8, 5) (Answer C)
