Start by writing out the system of equations.

  • 4x - y = 3
  • -4x + y = -3

The easiest way to solve this system of equations is the elimination method. This is because both equations contain opposites of each other that you can cancel out.

Add the system of equations together. After adding, everything cancels out. 4x + (-4x) = 0 ; -y + y = 0 ; 3 + (-3) = 0.

You are left with the equation of 0 = 0. Since this is a TRUE statement, this means that there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations.

If you were left with a false statement, for example 4 = 0, then the answer would be "no solution".

Another way to solve this system of equations is by the substitution method. This method works best if you are given a system of equations with one variable clearly defined.

For example, the system of equations could be:

  • 4x - y = 3
  • y = 3x + 4

y is equal to 3x + 4, so you could easily substitute y into the first equation. The elimination method wouldn't be the best choice because the system of equations are in the standard form Ax + By = C.

Generally any system of equations in the standard form are easier to solve using the elimination method. Hope this helped, good luck!

Employment data at a large company reveal that 75% of the workers are​ married, 42​% are college​ graduates, and half of the col
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

a. P=0.04

b. P=0.54

c. P=0.96

Step-by-step explanation:

If half of the college graduates are married, then we have:

- 21% are college graduates and married.

- 21% are college graduates and not married.

If 75% of the workers are married, and 21% of the workers are college graduates and married, then (75%-21%)=54% of the workers are not college graduates that are married.

If 25% of the workers are married, and 21% of the workers are college graduates and not married, then (25%-21%)=4% of the workers are not college graduates that are not married.

a) P=0.04 (explanation above)

b) P=0.54

c) In this case, the probability is the complement of point "a". Then we can calculate it by substracting the probability of not being married and not being a college graduate.

P=1-0.04=0.96
