The 3rd book can be any one of the remaining 3.
For each of those . . .
The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.
Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.
Answer:
The carpenter will not be able to buy 12 '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount a carpenter can spend at most = $250
The inequality to represent the amount he can spend on each type of board is given as:

where
represents '2 by 8 boards' and
represents '4 by 4 boards'.
To determine whether the carpenter can buy 12 '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.
Solution :
In order to check whether the carpenter can buy 12 '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards' , we need to plugin the
and
in the given inequality and see if it satisfies the condition or not or in other words (12,14) must be a solution for the inequality.
Plugging in
and
in the given inequality



The above statement can never be true and hence the carpenter will not be able to buy 12 '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.
Answer:
Z = 8.8 Y = - 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 2 - 5Z
Y = 5 - 47
2 - 5Z = 5 - 47
- 5Z = - 44
5Z = 44
Z = 8.8
Y = 2 - 5 (8.8)
Y = 2 - 44
Y = - 41
Y = 5 - 47
Y = - 42
