Answer:

2,520

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of possible arrangements of officers patrolling the streets is the combination of choosing 5 officers out of 10 (₁₀C₅). After choosing the patrolling officers, the number of arrangements for the officers working full time at the station is given by the combination of choosing 2 officers out of the 5 remaining (₅C₂). The remaining officers should be on reserve at the station (₃C₃). The total number of arrangements is:

N = _{10}C_5*_5C_2*_3C_3\\N=\frac{10!}{(10-5)!5!} *\frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}*\frac{3!}{(3-3)!3!} \\N=2,520

There are 2,520 possible divisions.

A -17 3/4< x so u have to simplify-17 3/4 by multiply 17*4=68+3=71/4 so the x stands for -71/4 and it has to be 4 as the denominator because it it the denominator for the question.
B, C, D are also the same answer-17/4
And for 15 3/4<-2+ x it is also the same answer

As it stands, it's none of those. I believe you were going for the distance formula but copied it wrong.
