Answer:

(7, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 2y = 17 → (1)

x - 3y = 1 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides

x = 1 + 3y → (3)

Substitute x = 1 + 3y in (1)

3(1 + 3y) - 2y = 17 ← distribute and simplify left side

3 + 9y - 2y = 17

3 + 7y = 17 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 1 + 3(2) = 1 + 6 = 7

Solution is (7, 2 )

We are looking for the probability :
$P(X > n)=0.05$
Transform the law to standard normal like this:
$P(\dfrac{X-545}{100}> \dfrac{n-545}{100})=0.05$
The above formula is equivalent to this one:
$P(\dfrac{X-545}{100}< \dfrac{n-545}{100})=0.95$
From normal law table, we read the value of $\dfrac{X-545}{100}$ .
$\dfrac{X-545}{100}=1.7$
Solving the above equation for the score n:
$X-545=170$
$X=715$ , it is the score we are looking for.
