Solve for one of the variables in the first equation (in this case, I will solve for X):
X = Y + 3

Then use that value of X in the second equation to solve for Y:
X + 3Y = 9
(Y + 3) + 3Y = 9
4Y + 3 = 9
4Y = 6
Y = 1.5

Use the value of Y we just found in the X equation we created:
X = Y + 3
X = 1.5 + 3
X = 4.5

Therefore X = 4.5 or 9/2 and Y = 1.5 or 3/2.

X - y = 3 is the same as x=3+y 

3+y+3y = 9 

3+4y=9 

4y=9-3

4y=6

y=6/4

y=3/2 

x-(3/2)=3 

x=3+(3/2) 

x=6/2+3/2 


x=9/2

Answer:

The estimated mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information,

Number of rocket hits | Observed number of regions

0 | 228

1 | 214

2 | 94

3 | 32

4 | 7

5 | 0

6 | 0

7 | 1

We are asked to estimate the mean number of rocket hits in the region.

The mean or expected value is given by

$\mu = \sum (x \cdot P(x)) \\\\\mu = (0 \cdot 228) + (1 \cdot 214) + (2 \cdot 94) + (3 \cdot 32) + (4 \cdot 7) + (5 \cdot 0) + (6 \cdot 0) + (7 \cdot 1) \\\\\mu = 0 + 214 +188+ 96 +28 +0+ 0 + 7 \\\\\mu = 533$
