Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 1) -x = 17  Distribute the 5

5x + 5 - x = 17 Combine like terms

4x + 5 = 17  Subtract 5 from both sides

4x = 12  Divide both sides by 4

x = 3  

Three is the smaller integer and 4 is the greater integer.

If 10% of a group ate sandwiches two days in a row, and 40% of the group had a sandwich on the first day, this means that 25% of
Charra [1.4K]
The problem can be represented on a Venn diagram, as shown below.

We have P(Day 1 ∩ Day 2) = 0.1 and P(Day 1) = 0.4
We can deduce that 30% of the group ONLY had sandwiches on Day 1 and there's 60% of the group ONLY had sandwiches on Day 2.

We obtain the value 60% = 0.6 from 100%-(10%+30%)=60%

We also can deduce that there 70% of the group that had sandwiches on Day 2

The proportion of people who ate sandwiches on Day 2 GIVEN that they ate sandwiches on Day 1 is given by

P(Day 1 ∩ Day 2)÷P(Day 2) = 0.1÷0.4 = 0.25 = 25%

The statement is TRUE

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

A town orchestra needs 3 new flute players and 4 new trumpet players. 8 flutists and 11 trumpeters try out, then the orchestra should select 3 flutists from 8 and 4 trumpeters form 11.

They can choose 3 flutists from 8 in

C_8^3=\dfrac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}=\dfrac{8!}{3!\cdot 5!}=\dfrac{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7\cdot 8}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5} =56 ways.

They can choose 4 flutists from 11 in

C_{11}^4=\dfrac{11!}{4!(11-4)!}=\dfrac{11!}{4!\cdot 7!}=\dfrac{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7\cdot 8\cdot 9\cdot 10\cdot 11}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7} =330 ways.

Use the product rule: 56·330=18480 ways for conductor to choose his new members.
