Answer:

  It has a single solution x=-3 y=26

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of coefficients of x and y are different, so the pair of equations has one solution. It is easy to tell the first offered solution (15, 17) does not satisfy the first equation, so that choice is eliminated.

Fortunately, the second offered solution, (x, y) = (-3, 26), satisfies both equations.

The equations have a single solution: (x, y) = (-3, 26).

Answer: The equation has a single solution x = -3 , y = 26.

( -3, 26 )

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y =17 ---------------------(1)

x + 2y = 49 -------------------(2)

Using substitution approach

From (2)

x = 49 - 2y --------------------(3)

Now put (3) in equation (1) and solve.

3(49 - 2y) + y = 17

Open the bracket and solve

3 x 48 - 3 x 2y + y = 17

147 - 6y + y = 17

Gather like terms

-5y = 17 - 147

-5y = -130

Multiple through by (-1)

5y = 130

Divide by 5

y = 130/5

y = 26.

Substitute for y now in equation (3) to get the value of x

3x + y = 17

3x + 26 = 17

3x = 17 - 26

3x = -9

Now , divide by 3

x = -3

The equation had a single solution of x = -3 , y = 26

Chech.

3 x -3 + 26

-9 + 26

= 17

A foreman for an injection-molding firm admits that on 55% of his shifts, he forgets to shut off the injection machine on his li
motikmotik

Answer:

0.8594

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a denote the event of forgetting to shut off machine and b be the event of being defective.

-A foreman forgets to shut off machine 55% of the time.

-If he forgets, 15% of molds are defective.

-If he does not, 3% of molds are defective.

#The probability that he forgot to shut off the machine is calculated as:

P(a \ and \ b)=0.55\times 0.15\\\\=0.0825\\\\

P(a and ~b)=0.55(1-0.15)=0.4675

P(~a and b) = (1-0.55)*0.03=0.0135

P(~a and ~b) = (1-0.55)*(1-0.03)=0.4365

#Conditional probability is defined as:

P(a|b)=\frac{P(a \ and\  b)}{P(a)}\\\\=\frac{P(a \ and \ b)}{[(P(a \ and \ b)+P(\~a \ and \ b)}\\\\\\=\frac{0.0825}{0.0825+0.0135}\\\\\\=0.8594

Hence,  the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night is 0.8594
