Answer:
3 (5x+7) = 75
15x + 21 = 75
15x + 21 - 21 = 75 - 21
15x = 54
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 x 2/2 = 2/6
1/2 x 3/3 = 3/6
2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6
Answer:
8 × 10¹
Step-by-step explanation:
don't panic. just breathe deeply and then think logically.
0.002 ... what is that ? 2 10ths ? 2 hundredths ? 2 thousandths ? 2 tenthousandths ?
the 3rd position after the decimal point is for 1/1000.
and that means 10^-3. in the same way as 1000 is 10³.
so, it is 2 × 10^-3.
the other rounded number is then 4 × 10⁴.
now, we are multiplying both numbers
2×10^-3 × 4×10⁴
what do we do ?
we combine the same types of factors, like the basic constants : 2×4 = 8
and 10^-3 × 10⁴.
what hairball when we multiply the same base number with exponents ? we add the exponents :
10^-3 × 10⁴ = 10¹ = 10
because -3 + 4 = 1
and so, the result is
8 × 10¹
We're going to be using combination since this question is asking how many different combinations of 10 people can be selected from a set of 23.
We would only use permutation if the order of the people in the committee mattered, which it seems it doesn't.
Formula for combination:

Where
represents the number of objects/people in the set and
represents the number of objects/people being chosen from the set
There are 23 people in the set and 10 people being chosen from the set


Usually I would prefer solving such fractions by hand instead of a calculator, but factorials can result in large numbers and there is too much multiplication. Using a calculator, we get

Thus, there are 1,144,066 different 10 person committees that can be selected from a pool of 23 people. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
