You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said
-(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .
You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say
5 cows .
When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared. It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.
Relax. Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
When you distribute values, 'a' while be multiplied by everything. since there is a plus sign in front of the 'b' then that will not be distributed. so an 'ab' will add the an 'ac' but an 'ad' is still going to subtract away from the equation.

tan42=x/12
x=12tan42=10.80
Answer:
0.27
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose A is the event of defect in the brake system and B is the event of defect in the fuel system,
We have given,
P(A) = 0.25,
P(B) = 0.17
P(A∩B) = 0.15 ( the probability of defects in both systems simultaneously is 0.15 ),
We know that,
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
= 0.25 + 0.17 - 0.15
= 0.27
Hence, the probability that the defect is the brakes or the fueling system is 0.27.
