We are using substitution to solve this problem.

y=3x+1
y=-2x+3
Make these equal each other: 3x+1=-2x+3
Add 2x to both sides: 3x+2x+1=-2x+2x+3
= 5x+1=3
Subtract 1 from both sides; 5x+1-1=3-1
= 5x=2
Divide 5 from both sides: 5x/5=2/5
X= 2/5
Plug X into one of the equations: y=3(2/5) +1
y=11/5(2.2)

(2/5,11/5)

A batch consists of 12 defective coils and 88 good ones. Find the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are rando

Allushta [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected if the first selection is replaced before the second is made is 0.7744

<u>Solution:</u>

Total number of coils = number of good coils + defective coils = 88 + 12 = 100

p(getting two good coils for two selection) = p( getting 2 good coils for first selection ) $\times$ p(getting 2 good coils for second selection)
