The answer is
(x+10)(x-3)
Given that half of the personal music players sold by a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 20% fail in the first six months.
Let A be the event that it fails in I 6 months
B1 = it has a flaw
B2 = it does not have a flaw
B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive
the chances that it has this flaw
=The probability that it has the flaw is
Lets x = # of hours Melania works at <span>office clerk
and y = </span># of hours Melania works as a <span>cashier
x + y = 38 so x = 38 - y
13x + 9.25y = 434
substitute </span> x = 38 - y into 13x + 9.25y = 434
13x + 9.25y = 434
13(38 - y) + 9.25y = 434
494 - 13y + 9.25y = 434
-3.75y = -60
y = 16
x = 38 - y so x = 38 - 16 = 22
answer
Melania works at office clerk = 22 hours
Melania works as a cashier = 16 hours
