We can add in any order. So 5x+y is the same as y+5x
5x+y = 10
y+5x = 10
y+5x-5x = 10-5x ... subtract 5x from both sides
y+0x = -5x+10
y+0 = -5x+10
y = -5x+10
Answer: y = -5x+10
Note: this is in y=mx+b form where m = -5 is the slope and b = 10 is the y intercept

Answer:

Explanation:
You need to find the probability that exactly three of the first 11 inspected packages are damaged and the fourth is damaged too.
<u>1. Start with the first 11 inspected packages:</u>
a) The number of combinations in which 11 packages can be taken from the 20 available packages is given by the combinatory formula:


b) The number of combinations in which 3 damaged packages can be chossen from 7 damaged packages is:

c) The number of cominations in which 8 good packages can be choosen from 13 good pacakes is:

d) The number of cominations in which 3 damaged packages and 8 good packages are chosen in the first 11 selections is:

e) The probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes, then that is:

Subsituting:


<u>2. The 12th package</u>
The probability 12th package is damaged too is 7 - 3 = 4, out of 20 - 11 = 9:
<u>3. Finally</u>
The probability that exactly 12 packages are inspected to find exactly 4 damaged packages is the product of the two calculated probabilities:

Is the last one
(-Infinity, -3] U (-1, positive infinity)
