Where's your number line?
First step:
simplify the values in the parenthesis:
-4(3+11v)
Second step:
apply the distributive property:
-12-44v
The final answer (simplified) is -44v-12
<h3>Answer:</h3>
2/15
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
There are 8C2 = 28 ways to choose 2 dimes from the 8 dimes in Annie's purse. There are 21C2 = 210 ways to choose 2 coins from the 21 coins in Annie's purse.
Of the 210 ways to choose 2 coins, 28 of the choices will result in 2 dimes being chosen. The probability of choosing 2 dimes is 28/210 = 2/15.

<em>Comment on nCk</em>
The number of ways to choose k objects from n, when order does not matter, is ...
... n!/(k!(n -k)!)
For the computations above, we have ...
... 8C2 = 8·7/(2·1) = 28
... 21C2 = 21·20/(2·1) = 210
