You can set up an system of equations
x=2y+8
x-y=25

Substitute x in to the second equation
2y+8-y=25
y+8=25
y=17

Substitute the y back in to the first equation.
x=2(17)+8=42

A survey of couples in a city found the following probabilities:
liraira [26]

Answer

(a) 0.94

(b)0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

P(husband is employed) = P(H) = 0.85

P(wife is employed) = P(W) = 0.59

P(both are employed) = P(H∩W) = 0.50

(a) At least one of them is employed

= P(H∪W)

= P(H) + P(W) - P(H∩W)

=0.85 + 0.59 - 0.50

=0.94

(b) Neither is employed,

=1 - P(H∪W)

= 1-0.94

=0.06
