Hi there!

\large\boxed{x = -3}

Begin by distributing the 5:

5(2x) + 5(-12) = -90

Simplify:

10x - 60 = -90

Add 60 to both sides:

10x = -90 + 60

10x = -30

Divide both sides by 10:

x = -3

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, divide 5 from both sides of the equation:

5(2x - 12) = -90

(5(2x - 12))/5 = (-90)/5

2x - 12 = -90/5

2x - 12 = -18

Next, add 12 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 12 (+12) = -18 (+12)

2x = -18 + 12

2x = -6

Finally, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2x)/2 - (-6)/2

x = -6/2

x = -3

-3 is your answer for x.

Container 1 has 8 items, 3 of which are defective. Container 2 has 5 items, 2 of which are defective. If one item is drawn from
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The required probability is \frac{19}{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of obtaining a defective item from container 1 is P(E_1)=\frac{3}{8}

The probability of obtaining a good item from container 1 is P(E_1)=\frac{5}{8}

The probability of obtaining a defective item from container 2 is P(E_1)=\frac{2}{5}

The probability of obtaining a good item from container 2 is P(E_1)=\frac{3}{5}

The cases of the event are

1)Defective item is drawn from container 1 and good item is drawn from container 2

2)Defective item is drawn from container 2 and good item is drawn from container 1

Thus the required probability is the sum of above 2 cases

P(Event)=\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{8}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{19}{40}
