Survival probability of a mixture of exponential and gamma lifetimes

A mobile manufacturing company uses two brands of batteries for its mobiles. The life (in years) of batteries of Brand I follows an exponential distribution with the probability density function

f(x)={e−x,x>0,0,otherwise,f(x)=\begin{cases}e^{-x},&x>0,\\0,&\text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

and that of Brand II follows a gamma distribution with the probability density function

g(x)={x4e−x/2,x>0,0,otherwise.g(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac x4e^{-x/2},&x>0,\\0,&\text{otherwise.}\end{cases}

The company uses the batteries of Brands I and II in proportion of 20%20\% and 80%80\% respectively, in its mobiles. The probability that a randomly selected mobile has the battery life more than 22 years is
