Answer:
192
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many phones are expected to be defective, we need to represent the values in a fraction.
x = number of defective phones
Now we can solve this using algebra.
To get the value of x we need to multiply both sides by 8000 to leave x alone.
So around 192 cell phones are expected to be defective out of 8000 phones.
You may notice that all of the terms have a common factor: . So, let's take the
out of all the terms. This gives us:
Using the Zero Product Property, we can say that both and
.
Let's solve both. is obvious, but we still need to solve our other term:
- Set up
- Factor
- Apply the Zero Product Property
Our answer is x = -6, 0, 4.
