Answer:
P(inside larger square and outside smaller) =
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the result of the division of the number of possible outcome by the number of an event.
In the question, for a point chosen, the point can be in the small square only or in the area or region between the small square and the big square as such,
Area of larger square = area of region between both squares + area of smaller square
Where the area of a square is S × S where S is the side of a square
Area of larger square = 10 × 10
= 100 cm square
Area of smaller square = 7 × 7
= 49 cm square
Area of the region between both squares
= 100 - 49
= 51 cm square
The probability that a dot selected is inside the larger square and outside the smaller is
P(inside larger square and outside smaller) = Area of region between both square/ Area of larger square
P(inside larger square and outside smaller) =

Answer:
(x, y) = (1, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll write these equations in general form, then solve using the cross-multiplication method.
43x +67y +24 = 0
67x +43y -24 = 0
∆1 = (43)(43) -(67)(67) = -2640
∆2 = (67)(-24) -(43)(24) = -2640
∆3 = (24)(67) -(-24)(43) = 2640
These go into the relations ...
1/∆1 = x/∆2 = y/∆3
x = ∆2/∆1 = -2640/-2640 = 1
y = ∆3/∆1 = 2640/-2640 = -1
The solution is (x, y) = (1, -1).

<em>Additional comment</em>
The cross multiplication method isn't taught everywhere. The attachment explains a bit about it. Our final relationship changes the order of the fractions to 1, x, y from x, y, 1. That way, we can use the equation coefficients in their original general-form order. (The fourth column in the 2×4 array of coefficients is a repeat of the first column.)
