The rule of distributive property allows you to rewrite xa + xb as x (a + b).

So if x = 2, a = 3 and b = 4, xa + xb = x(a + b)
(2 * 3) + (2 * 4) = 2 (3 + 4)
6 + 8 = 14
14 = 14
...and so on. You may try it yourself with different variations.

Thank you for posting your question. I hope you found what you were after. Please feel free to ask me more.

The Distributive Property of Multiplication is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.
The two terms inside the parentheses cannot be added because they are not like terms. Therefore, a(x+b), the expression inside the parentheses, cannot be simplified any further. To simplify this multiplication, another method will be needed. This is where the Distributive Property comes in.

Answer:

The probability is $P(B' n A ' ) =$ 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

A is the event that the chip was "made by company A"

B is the event that a chip "survives 500 temperature cycles"

The probability that a computer chip survives more than 500 temperature cycles is

$P(B) = 42$ % $= 0.42$

The probability that does not survive more than 500 temperature cycles and it was manufactured by company A is $P(A | B' ) = 0.73$

The probability that the computer chip is not manufactured by company A and does not survive more than 500 temperature cycles is mathematically evaluated as

$P(B' n A ' ) = P (B' | A' ) P(B ')$
