Plz answer correctly to take brainliest.

Answer 1

Answer:

x + y = 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

A number of 100 persons visited the eye camp.

It is given that, x person belongs to senior citizen who are above the age of 65 years and y persons belongs to others.

Only two possibilities can be derived regarding the age of a random selected person from the group.

Either the person's age is above 65 years or not.

The number of people having the age of more than 65 is denoted by x and not more than 65 that is equal to or less than 65 is denoted by y.

Total number is 100.

Hence, x + y = 100.
