To answer this question, you will represent the amount of yards rushed by each running back.

x - Running back #1
9x - Running back #2

The combined yards was 1550, so put these together in an addition equation with a total of 1550.  Solve for x.

x + 9x = 1550
10x = 1550
x = 155

Running back #1 rushed 155 yards, and running back #2 rushed for 1395 yards.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

252

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the books isn't important, so we'll use combinations.

The number of ways to choose 5 books from 10 is:

₁₀C₅ = 10! / (5! (10 − 5)!)

₁₀C₅ = 10! / (5! 5!)

₁₀C₅ = 10×9×8×7×6 / (5×4×3×2×1)

₁₀C₅ = 252
