Answer:

solution set is (x,y) = (7,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

solving by substitution method

2x +y=20--------------1

6x-5y=12---------------2

from equation 1, solve for y

2x+y=20

y= 20-2x------equation 3

adding value of y in equation 2

6x-5y=12

6x-5(20-2x)=12

6x-100+10x=12

16x= 12+100

16x= 112

x= 112/16

x=7

adding value of x in equation 3

y= 20-2x

y= 20- 2(7)

y=20-14

y=6

so solution set (x,y) = (7,6)

Of the coffee makers sold in an appliance store, 4.0% have either a faulty switch or a defective cord, 2.5% have a faulty swi

lukranit [14]

Answer: Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.

Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.

Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04

P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001

P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025

We need to find P(B):

As we know that

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.025-0.001\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.024\\\\P(A)=0.04-0.024=0.376$

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.
