Answer:

103, 776

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 possibilities, and you are picking 3.

Now, the order does matter (aka, if the same 3 athletes won but got different places, we would still consider it to be a separate possibility)

(this is considered "without repetitions")

the number of permutations (arrangement combinations where the order does matter) without repetitions formula:

Number of permutations

without <em>repetitions </em>= nPr

= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

(

[the P is for combinations [where the order does matter, if the order didn't matter then it would be C, and it would be a different formula.]

n is the total number of objects.

r is the number of objects selected]

<em>(a repetition would be like two versions of the same person competing, which doesn't make sense)</em>

{the ! means factorial:

5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1}

{for example, if there are 5 people to give a presentation, and they can go in any order [but cannot repeat their presentation], so they all must fill 5 slots}

{for the first slot there are 5 choices, the second slot there are 4 choices...}

)

So, if we follow this formula:

\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

n: 48

r: 3

\frac{48!}{(48-3)!}

= \frac{48!}{45!}

=\frac{48 * 47*46*45!}{45!}

(the 45! cancel out)

= 48 * 47 * 46

= 103, 776

(or, without the formula:

for the first choice (lets say of gold), there are 48 options

for the second choice (lets say silver), there are 47 options left to choose from

for the third choice (lets say bronze), there are 46 options left to choose from

)

What is the solution to the system of equations below? Y=-4/5x-6 &amp; y=-30
Ainat [17]
So when you are trying to find the solution to the system of equations make sure that you have it where y= -4/5x-6 and y= -30 are written like this:

-30=-4/5x-6

And then solve for x:

Add 6 on both sides. 

-24=-4/5x

Then multiply by the reciprocal of -4/5.

-5/4*-24=-5/4*-4/5x

x=30 

But then you are gonna want to plug 30 in for x in y=-4/5x-6 to make sure that it is the same as y=-30.

How to slove step by step
wariber [46]
\frac{x+3}{12} = \frac{2}{7}

Multiply both sides by 12, so that we get rid of the fraction in x.

12 · (x+3)/12 = 2/7 · 12

Simplify.

x + 3 = 24/7

Then, subtract 3 from both sides, so that "x" gets isolated.

x = 24/7 - 3

Turn "3" into an improper fraction so that we could find the value of x easier.

3 = 21/3

So :

x = 24/7 - 21/7

Simplify.

x = 3/7

~Hope this helps!~
