8 x 45 = (8 * 40) + (8 * 5) ...now that can be done mentally
Answer:
The value is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of cans is n = 4
The number of can that are empty is N = 3
The number of can filled with water is k = 1
The number number of sets of cans is w = 5
Generally probability of detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
Generally probability of not detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as



Generally the number of cans expected of the farmer to correctly identify by chance is mathematically represented as

=> 
=>

Answer:
first method
subtract 5 from both side
2x + 5 -5 = 12 - 5
:. 2x = 7
:. X= 2
7
divide 2 from both side
X= 2x 7
2 2
:. X= 3.5
second method
2x = 12 - 5
2x = 7
X= 2 ÷ 7
:. X= 3.5
