Answer:

0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose A is the event of defect in the brake system and B is the event of defect in the fuel system,

We have given,

P(A) = 0.25,

P(B) = 0.17

P(A∩B) = 0.15 ( the probability of defects in both systems simultaneously is 0.15 ),

We know that,

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.25 + 0.17 - 0.15

= 0.27

Hence, the probability that the defect is the brakes or the fueling system is 0.27.

Solve the system of equations - 6x + 8y = –10 and - 4x + y = –11 by<br> combining the equations.
elena55 [62]
Answer: (3, 1) :)

Explanation:
-6x + 8y = -10
-4x + y = -11
-32x + 8y = -88
26x = 78
x = 3
-18 + 8y = -10
8y = 8
y = 1
