How is solving for a variable similar to solving an equation? How is it different

Mathematics
1 answer:
storchak [24]1 year ago
6 0

When we say "solve for the variable", we mean to solve the equation because the solution of the equation is finding the unknown variable.

So, the similarity between "solving for a "variable" to "solving an equation" is that both actions imply looking at the value of that variable.

<h2>Similarity: both actions imply looking at the value of that variable.</h2>

On the other hand, a slight difference would be in the case of having several variables in the equation. In this case, both actions could represent slight differences, because if we have three different variables and we say "solve for <em>y</em>", that means we must isolate that variable, and the result is just an expression. But, if we say "solve the equation"

Step-by-step explanation:

A school bus has 25 seats, with 5 rows of 5 seats.

15 students from the first grade and 5 students from the second grade travel in the bus.

second-grade students occupy the first row.

The 5 students of second grade are to be seated in 5 seats,this can be done in:

5P5 ways where P is the permutation

Now 15 students from first grade are to be arranged in remaining 20 seats

This can be done in:

20P15 ways
