A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago.

The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail?

These are independent events so
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

Therefore
P(Both gears fail) = 0.05 * 0.08 = 0.004 or 0.4%

Volume of cylinder= /pi r square h

Taking /pi as 22/7

r= diameter/2

=5m

h=24m

V= 22/7*5 square*24

What is the value of x in the figure? Enter your answer in the box.<br> 145º<br> (2x + 15)
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle labeled with the expression " ( 2x + 15 ) " and the angle with the measure of 145° are vertical angles

Vertical angles are congruent (In other words, they are equal to each other)

Hence, 2x + 15 = 145

                   ^ ( Note that we just created an equation  that we can use

                       to solve for x )

Using that same equation we then solve for x

2x + 15 = 145

step 1 subtract 15 from each side

15 - 15 cancels out

145 - 15 = 130

we now have 130 = 2x

step 2 divide each side by 2

130 / 2 = 65

2x / 2 = x

we're left with x = 65
