Captain Ben has a ship, the H. M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is four furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima
and her merciless band of thieves.
If his ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Ben has probability 3/4 of hitting the pirate ship. If his ship has
been hit, Captain Ben will always miss.
of hitting the Captain's ship. If
If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Umaima has probability 1/2
her ship has been hit, dread pirate Umaima will always miss.
If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the pirate shoots first, what is the probability that both
the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships?

x=0

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
