So use undistributive properyt]
ab+ac=a(b+c)
so factor 24a dadn 28 to find 'a' the common factor
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 tiems a
28=2 times 2 times 7
common one is 2 itmes 2=4
a=4
4(2 times3 times a)+4(7)=4(6a)+4(7)=4(6a+7)
15x + 28y = 116
x + y = 6
that would be ur system of equations
Answer: The minimum reliability for the second stage be 0.979.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Probability for the overall rocket reliable for a successful mission = 97%
Probability for the first stage = 99%
We need to find the minimum reliability for the second stage :
So, it becomes:
P(overall reliability) = P(first stage ) × P(second stage)

Hence, the minimum reliability for the second stage be 0.979.
Answer in picture below:
Step-by-step explanation:
77/8= 9.625 and 31/4= 7.75...so 9.625-7.75= 1.875
