Answer:

$x=\frac{23}{6}$ or $4.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x + 2x + 7 = 10x - 16$

$5x+7=10x-16$

Subtract 7 from both sides:

$5x+7-7=10x-16-7\\5x=10x-23$

Subtract 10x from both sides:

$5x-10x=10x-23-10x\\-5x=-23$

Divide both sides by -5:

$\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-23}{-5}\\x=\frac{23}{5}$ or $4.6$

Follows are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Technician selects three out of 5 systems

In C(5,3)=10ways, this can be achieved

In part a:

Space sample chooses 3 of a 5 systems

$(M_1, \ M_2,\ M_3),$ $(M_1,M_2,M_4) \ (M_1,M_2,M_5) \ (M_1,M_3,M_4) \ (M_1,M_3,M_5),$ $(M_1,M_4,M_5) \ (M_2,M_3,M_4)\ (M_2,M_3,M_5) \ (M_2,M_4,M_5),(M_3,M_4,M_5)}$

In point b:

A =MODULE WHICH INCLUDE M1 minimal amount of effort

Outcomes probable =

$(M_1,M_2,M_3),\ (M_1,M_2,M_4) \ (M_1,M_2,M_5)\ (M_1,M_3,M_4)\\\\(M_1,M_3,M_5),\ (M_1,M_4,M)5)\ =\ 6$

$\to p(A)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\$

$=0.6$

In point c:

B = highest effort that is $M_5$

Potential result=

$(M_1,M_2,M_5) \ (M_1,M_3,M_5) \ (M_2,M_3,M_5)\(M_2,M_4,M_5) \\ (M_2,M_4,M_5), \ (M_3,M_4,M_5) \ =\ 6 \\\\$

$\to B= \frac{6}{10} \\\\$

$=0.6$

$\to P(B)=10$

In point d:

$\to \ A \ intersection \ B=(M_1,M_2,M_5), \ (M_1,M_3,M_5) \ ,(M_1,M_4,M_5)$

$\to A (A \ intersection \ B) = \frac{3}{10} \\\\\ \ \ \ \ \$

$=0.3$

In point e:

$\to (A \cup B) = (M_1,M_2,M_3),\ (M_1,M_2,M_4)\ (M_1,M_2,M_5)(M_1,M_3,M_4)\ (M_1,M_3,M_5), \\ (M_1,M_4,M_5)\ (M_2,M_3,M_5) \ (M_2,M_4,M_5),(M_3,M_4,M_5) \ = \ 9$ $\to P(A \cap B)=\frac{9}{10}$
