Answer:

  y = 8

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation,

x + y = 17     ........(1)

9 x - y = 73...........(2)

writing in matrix form

A X = B

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1 \\ 9 &-1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}17\\73 \end{bmatrix}

using augamented matrix A|B

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1& 17\\ 9 & -1 & 73\end{bmatrix}

using row transformation

R₂ = R₂ - 9 R₁

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1& 17\\ 0 & -10 & -80\end{bmatrix}

now,

\begin{bmatrix}1 &1 \\ 0 &-10 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}17\\-80 \end{bmatrix}

now

-10 y = -80

    y = 8

and

x + y = 17

x = 17 -8

x =9

Alex777 [14]

Answer: 9/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of people own a cat:

Probability of people own a bird:

P(bird)=3/100=0.03

Probability of both own a cat and a bird

P(cat and bird)=(30/100) × (3/100)
