x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

- = 3

Multiply through by 35 ( the LCM of 5 and 7 ) to clear the fractions

7(3x - 1) - 5x = 105 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

21x - 7 - 5x = 105

16x - 7 = 105 ( add 7 to both sides )

16x = 112 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 7

To verify the answer substitute x = 7 into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is the solution

-

= - 1

= - 1

= 4 - 1

= 3 = right side

Then x = 7 is the solution to the equation

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %
