Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Greater number: 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x equal to the smaller number.
Let y be equal to the greater number.
<u>1) Translate the information into equations</u>
"One is 7 more than twice the other"
⇒
"The sum of the numbers is 43"
⇒
<u>2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number</u>
Plug the equation into the above equation
Subtract both sides by 7
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.
<u>3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number</u>
Plug in x as 12
Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y
Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.
I hope this helps!
<h3>Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.
So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.
An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is
