Answer:
a = 18.15
Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.
Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction

After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.

Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.

Divide both sides by -2.

In this equation, a should equal
.
The solution for this problem would be:
Given that there is 99.999%.
Let denote n as the network servers and p as the reliability of each server.
So the probability that the network uptime = 1 - (1 - p)^n
Therefore, (1-p) ^n = 0.00001
a. x= log(1-.99999)÷log(1-.97)= 3.2833 is the answer
1-(1-.97)^3= 0.99999 + 0.0001 = 1
b. x = log(1-.99999)÷log(1-.88) = 5.43 is the answer
1-(1-.88)^3= 0.99 + 0.0001 = approx 1
