Answer:

x = 9

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

0.8x = 7.2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide both sides by 0.8:                    x = 9

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    0.8(9) = 7.2
  2. Multiply:                        7.2 = 7.2

7.2 does indeed equal 7.2. ∴ x = 9 is a solution.

And we have our final answer!

A manufacturer of pickup trucks is required to recall all the trucks manufactured in a given year for the repair of possible def
Crank

Answer: 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of having defective steering and B be the vent of having defective brake linings.

Given: P(A)  = 0.03  P(B) = 0.05

P(neither A nor B ) = 0.94

Using formula: P(either A nor B) = 1- P(neither A nor B )

= 1-0.94

i.e.  P(either A nor B) =0.06

Using formula:P(A and B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(either A or B)

P(A and B) =0.03+0.05-0.06

= 0.02

Hence, the percentage of the trucks have both defects = 2%
