Answer:

462 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to use in solving this problem is given as the Combination formula

The Combination formula is given as

C(n , r) = nCr = n!/r! (n - r)!

We are told that a food bakery has 12 pies unsold at the end of the day which they intend to share to 6 food banks

n = 12, r = 6

In order to ensure that at least 1 food bank gets 1 pie, we have:

n - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

r - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Hence,

C(11, 5) = 11C5

= 11!/ 5! ×(11 - 5)!

= 11!/5! × 6!

= (11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)/ (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) ×( 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)

= 462 ways

Two times x is 8 more than y. The sum of x and two times y is 14. Write two equations and graph to find the value of y.
Sauron [17]

Option B: $y=4$ is the value of y

Explanation:

It is given that "Two times x is 8 more than y". Writing it as expression, we have,

2x=8+y

It is also given that "The sum of x and two times y is 14". Writing it as expression, we have,

x+2y=14

To find the value of y, let us solve the two equations using substitution method.

From the equation 2x=8+y , let us find the value of x.

x=\frac{8+y}{2}

x=\frac{8}{2} +\frac{y}{2}

x=4+\frac{y}{2}

Now, substituting x=4+\frac{y}{2} in the equation x+2y=14 , we get,

4+\frac{y}{2}+2y=14

      4+\frac{5y}{2} =14

            $\frac{5 y}{2}=10$

            5y=20

              $y=4$

Thus, the value of y is $y=4$

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

11

12

does not

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know how much money the coach has and how much each bag costs we can find out how much bags the coach can by by divide the money the coach has by the price of one bat bag. So we do....

605 / 55 = 11

So now we know that she can by 11 bags maximum, while she needs 12 bags for the team. From this we know that she does not have enough money to buy 12 bags.
