<span>2x+3y=7
x-y=1

</span>2x+3y=7
x=1+y

2*(1+y)+3y=7
x=1+y

2+2y+3y=7
x=1+y

5y=5 |(:5)
x=1+y

y=1
x=2

CHECK:
2x+3y=7
x-y=1

2*2 + 3*1 = 7

x-y = 1
2-1 = 1

2x+3y=7
2(2)+3y=7
4+3y=7
subtract 4 from both sides
3y=3
divide both side by 3
y=1

2x+3y=7
2x+3=7
2x+3y=7
subtract 3y from both sides
2x=7-3y
divide both side by 2
x=3.5-1.5
x=2

then you do the x-y=1

x-y=1
2-1=1
1=1

in the end both answers are 1 so that means that i did it right. that means that x=2 and y=1

Answer:

a) 0.1423

b) 0.2977

c) 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver stopped for speeding, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have invalid licenses, or they do not. The probability of a driver having an invalid license is independent from other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
