0.8=1-0.4\left(1-0.12\right)\left(1-x_{3}\right)
Subtract 0.6 from 1 to get 0.4.
0.8=1-0.4\times 0.88\left(1-x_{3}\right)
Subtract 0.12 from 1 to get 0.88.
0.8=1-0.352\left(1-x_{3}\right)
Multiply 0.4 and 0.88 to get 0.352.
0.8=1-0.352+0.352x_{3}
Use the distributive property to multiply -0.352 by 1-x_{3}.
0.8=0.648+0.352x_{3}
Subtract 0.352 from 1 to get 0.648.
0.648+0.352x_{3}=0.8
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
0.352x_{3}=0.8-0.648
Subtract 0.648 from both sides.
0.352x_{3}=0.152
Subtract 0.648 from 0.8 to get 0.152.
x_{3}=\frac{0.152}{0.352}
Divide both sides by 0.352.
x_{3}=\frac{152}{352}
Expand \frac{0.152}{0.352} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.
x_{3}=\frac{19}{44}
Reduce the fraction \frac{152}{352} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.
