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

If two of these shapes are randomly chosen, one after the other without replacement, what is the probability that the first will
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

P(T\ n\ S) = \frac{1}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

*Missing Part of the Question*

4 stars

5 triangles

3 circles

3 squares

Required

Determine the probability of triangle being first then square being second

Total = 4 + 5 + 3 + 3

Total = 15

Represent the triangle with T and square with S

So, we're solving for P(T n S)

P(T\ n\ S) = P(T) * P(S)

Solving for P(T)

P(T) = \frac{n(T)}{Total}

P(T) = \frac{5}{15}

Solving for P(S)

The question implies a probability without replacement;

Hence Total has now been reduced by 1

Total = 14

P(S) = \frac{n(S)}{Total}

P(S) = \frac{3}{14}

Recall that

P(T\ n\ S) = P(T) * P(S)

P(T\ n\ S) = \frac{5}{15} * \frac{3}{14}

P(T\ n\ S) = \frac{15}{15 * 14}

P(T\ n\ S) = \frac{1}{14}

Hence, the required probability is

P(T\ n\ S) = \frac{1}{14}
