A donut store has 11 different types of donuts. You can only buy a bag of 3 of them, where each donut has to be of a different t

ype from the rest. How many different bags of 3 can you make

Answer:

165.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since repetition isn't allowed, there would be 11 choices for the first donut, (11 - 1) = 10 choices for the second donut, and (11 - 2) = 9 choices for the third donut. If the order in which donuts are placed in the bag matters, there would be 11 \times 10 \times 9 unique ways to choose a bag of these donuts.

In practice, donuts in the bag are mixed, and the ordering of donuts doesn't matter. The same way of counting would then count every possible mix of three donuts type 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 times.

For example, if a bag includes donut of type x, y, and z, the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 would include the following 3 \times 2 \times 1 arrangements:

  • xyz.
  • xzy.
  • yxz.
  • yzx.
  • zxy.
  • zyx.

Thus, when the order of donuts in the bag doesn't matter, it would be necessary to divide the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 by 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 to find the actual number of donut combinations:

\begin{aligned} \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

Using combinatorics notations, the answer to this question is the same as the number of ways to choose an unordered set of 3 objects from a set of 11 distinct objects:

\begin{aligned}\begin{pmatrix}11 \\ 3\end{pmatrix} &= \frac{11 !}{(11 - 3)! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 !}{8 ! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

Solve: 3,125 = 5-10 + 3x<br> DONE
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

x=3130/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3,125 = 5-10 + 3x

5-10+3x=3125

3x-5=3125

3x-5+5=3125+5

3x=3130

3x/3 = 3130/3

x=3130/3

I hope this helps!

What is the absolute value of 2.3
Hoochie [10]
<h3>Answer:  2.3</h3>

The absolute value of any positive number is that number itself.

If you take the absolute value of a negative number, then just erase the negative sign and you have your answer.

The absolute value is never negative. It represents distance from that value to 0 on the number line.

So saying |2.3| = 2.3 means the number 2.3 is exactly 2.3 units away from 0 on the number line.

Another example would be |-7| = 7 showing that from 0 to -7 is 7 spaces.

At the local grocery store, cans of beans are arranged in rows. The number of cans in each row forms an arithmetic sequence. The
Elodia [21]
In an arithmetic series, the value of the nth term is calculated using the equation,
                                  an = ao + (n - 1)(d)
where an and ao are the nth and the 1st term, respectively. d is the common difference, and n is the number of terms.

In the given, an = 48, a0 = 93, d = -5 and n is unknown. Substituting the known values,
                                     48 = 93 + (n - 1)(-5)
The value of n from the equation is 10. Thus, the answer is the last choice.
