There are 5 letters in the word "prime"
Imagine we had 5 slots to fill. They are empty initially.
Slot 1 has 5 choices to pick from
Once we pick a letter, we have 4 choices left over for slot 2
Slot 3 will have 3 choices
Slot 4 will have 2 choices
Slot 5 will have 1 choice
We have this countdown: 5,4,3,2,1
which multiplies out to 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
There are 120 unique ways to arrange the letters. Order matters. Because order matters, this is a permutation.
Wouldn't it be 1? Because any number to the zero post power is 1?
-2x+3=15
Subtract 3 from both sides:
-2x=12
Divide -2 from both sides:
X=-16 is your answer
