We are given the following information concerning the three production machines;

\begin{gathered} Of\text{ the total production;} \\ A=55\text{ \%}=0.55 \\ B=25\text{ \%}=0.25 \\ C=20\text{ \%}=0.20 \end{gathered}

Also, we are given the percentage of defective output as follows;

\begin{gathered} A=3.5\text{ \%}=0.035 \\ B=4.5\text{ \%}=0.045 \\ C=5.5\text{ \%}=0.055 \end{gathered}

Therefore, if an item is selected randomly, the probability that the item is defective would be;

\begin{gathered} P\lbrack defective\rbrack=(0.55\times0.035)+(0.25\times0.045)+(0.20\times0.055) \\ P\lbrack\text{defective\rbrack}=0.01925+0.01125+0.011 \\ P\lbrack\text{defective\rbrack}=0.0415 \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

The probability that the item is defective would be 0.0415

Cross Multiply by 'x - 5'
Hence
y(x - 5) = 4 -3x
xy - 5y = 4 - 3x

Move all the terms containing an 'x' to one side of the equals and all the others to the opposite side.
xy + 3x = 4 + 5y
Factor out 'x'
x(y + 3) = 4 + 5y
'Cross' divide by 'y + 3'
x = ( 4 + 5y) / (y + 3 )

'x' is now the subject.
