Answer:
The value of x is, 
Explanation:
Given: 
Distributive Property states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately.
If 
Now, using distributive property on left hand side of the given expression as:
or 
Addition Property of equality state that we add the same number from both sides of an equation.
Add r to both sides of an equation:

Simplify:

Subtraction Property of equality state that we subtract the same number from both sides of an equation.
Subtract Nx from both sides of an equation;

Simplify:
or

Division Property of equality states that we divide the same number from both sides of an equation.
Divide by (34-N) to both sides of an equation;

On Simplify:

Answer:
a) 23.76%
b) 7.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.
loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)
hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%
b) probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13
probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12
now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%
I believe Z=18
Example:
2/3z + 1 = 13
Multiply both sides: 2/3z * 3 + 1 * 3 = 13 * 3
Refine: 2/3z + 3 = 39
Subtract from both sides: 2z + 3 - 3 = 39 - 3
Refine: 2z=36
2z/2 = 36/12
Z=18
