Two factory plants are making tv panels. yesterday, plant a produced 6000 panels. seven percent of the panels from plant a and 2 % of the panels from plant b were defective. how many panels did plant b produce, if the overall percentage of defective panels from the two plants was 4 % ?

1% of 4000 + 4% of B = 2% of (4000 + B)

40 + 0.04*B = 0.02( 4000 + B)

40 + 0.04* B = 80 + 0.02*B

40 + 0.04*B - 80 - 0.02B = 0

0.02*B - 40 = 0

0.02*B = 40

2B = 4000

B = 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: 7

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
