Good evening.
This is a
incomplete quadratic equation, because it does not have the term
bx. Therefore, we can solve this faster with the following strategy:

Add
16 to both sides:

Take the square root:

Therefore:
35,000 ft - 6,000 ft = 29,000 ft
Answer:

Explanation:
There are only two mutually exclusive possibilities for each complex electronic system: being <em>defective</em> or being <em>not defective</em>:
- Number of complex electronic systems: 7
- Nmber of defective systems: 2
- Number of not defective systems: 5
<em>Probability </em>that no defective systems are found in the sample is the equal to the probability of selecting them consecutively without replacement and finding each one is not defective:
- Porbability the first is not defective × probability the second is not defective
- 5/7 × 4/6 = 20/42 = 10/21
18 x 3 = 54. So the correct answer is D. 54 pounds.
