You can use the substitution method.
Let's choose the second equation in terms of y (which is much easier),
-y = 4 - x
y = -4 + x
y = x - 4

Substitute this to the first equation to get the value of x.
-5x + 3(x - 4) = 6
-5x + 3x - 12 = 6
-2x = 6 + 12
-2x = 18
x = -9

Substitute it to the first equation that we have used.
y = -9 - 4 = -13

Let AA and BB be events such that P(A∩B)=1/73P(A∩B)=1/73, P(A~)=68/73P(A~)=68/73, P(B)=21/73P(B)=21/73. What is the probability

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$P(A \cup B) = \frac{5}{73} +\frac{21}{73} -\frac{1}{73}=\frac{25}{73}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and B events. We have defined the probabilities for some events:

$P(A') =\frac{68}{73} , P(B) =\frac{21}{73} , P(A \cap B) =\frac{1}{73}$

Where A' represent the complement for the event A

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: $P(A)+P(A') =1$

So for this case we can solve for P(A) like this:

$P(A) = 1-P(A') = 1-\frac{68}{73}=\frac{5}{73}$

And now we can find $P(A \cup B)$ using the total probability rul given by:

$P(A \cup B) = P(A)+P(B) -P(A \cap B)$

And if we replace the values given we got:

$P(A \cup B) = \frac{5}{73} +\frac{21}{73} -\frac{1}{73}=\frac{25}{73}$

And that would be the final answer.

REY [17]

The faction is 3/4.
I got the answer by doing 24/32 = 0.75.
Then, I converted the decimal into a fraction. Which, is 3/4.
I hope this helps! :)
