Answer:

  1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The product will only be of the required form if the two chosen factors are of the form (x +by) and (x -by).

For the factor (x+y), there is also a factor (x-y) on the list. For the factor (x+5y), there is no factor (x-5y) available.

So, of the (4·3)/2 = 6 possible ways to choose two expressions from the four given expressions, only one pair of the 6 will have a product of the required form.

The probability is 1/6.

What is the solution to the system below? <br> 3x + y = 11<br> y = x + 3
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x = 2

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 11 equation (1)

-x + y = 3 multiply this equation by -1

x - y = -3 equation (2)

by adding 2 equations

4x = 8
