The probability that the bulb is good is 12/15.
Since we have taken 1 item out the remaining total is now 14, so the probability of getting a defective bulb is now 3/14.
Now you multiply the probabilities together to get (12/15)(3/14)=(4/5)(3/14)=12/70=6/35
x-17= 23
move -17 to the other side
sign changes from -17 to +17
x-17+17= 23+17
x= 23+17
Answer:
x= 40

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
12/5
Discussion:
Note that 10 is a common denominator of both denominators:
9/5 = (9*2)/(5*2) = 18/10
- ( -6/10) = + (6/10)
So the original problem is equivalent to
18/10 + 6/10 =
(18 +6)/10 =
24/10 =
(2*12)/ (2*5) => cancelling the common factor "2"
12/5 =
2 and 2 fifths =
22/5 (though this looks like (22)/5!)
Thank you,
MrB
