Answer:

(a) 350

(b) 175

(c) 21

(d) 196

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of females = 7

Number of males = 5

Total ways of selecting r items from n items is

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

(a)

Total ways of selecting 3 females and 2 males.

\text{Total ways}=^7C_3\times ^5C_2

\text{Total ways}=\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}\times \dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}

\text{Total ways}=35\times 10

\text{Total ways}=350

(b)

Total ways of selecting 4 females and 1 male.

\text{Total ways}=^7C_4\times ^5C_1

\text{Total ways}=32\times 5

\text{Total ways}=175

(c)

Total ways of selecting 5 females.

\text{Total ways}=^7C_5\times ^5C_0

\text{Total ways}=21\times 1

\text{Total ways}=21

(d)

Total ways of selecting at least 4 females.

Total ways = 4 females + 5 females

\text{Total ways}=175+21

\text{Total ways}=196

Cody's Gym charges a $15 fee to join and $30 per month. Tyler's Gym charges a $30 fee to join and $20 per month. Write an inequa
posledela

Answer:

<u>After (3/2) months Tyler's gym would be a better deal.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x the number of months

Cody's Gym charges a $15 fee to join and $30 per month

y₁= 15 + 30x (1)

Tyler's Gym charges a $30 fee to join and $20 per month

y₂ = 15 + 30x (2)

See the attached figure which represent the graph of y₁ (with blue color) and y₂ (with red color)

The point of intersection between y₁ and y₂ is ( 3/2 , 60)

After 3/2 months Tyler's Gym charges will be less than Cody's Gym charges

So, the inequality will be:

<u>After (3/2) months Tyler's gym would be a better deal.</u>

Which is the simplified form of the expression 3(7/5x+4) - 2(3/2 - 5/4x)?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. \frac{67}{10} x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression. Remember to go by the order of operations, or PEMDAS.

1) First, distribute the numbers outside of the set of parentheses to the terms inside the set of parentheses next to them. Then, simplify the fractions.

3(\frac{7}{5} x + 4) -2 (\frac{3}{2} -\frac{5}{4} x)

\frac{21}{5}x + 12  - \frac{6}{2} + \frac{10}{4} x

\frac{21}{5} x + 12 - 3 + \frac{10}{4} x

2) Finally, combine like terms. (This means to add or subtract constants and to add or subtract terms with the same variables.) You may need to convert terms to the same denominator in order to do so easier. Then, reduce the fraction.

\frac{21}{5} x + 9 + \frac{10}{4}x \\\frac{84}{20}x + \frac{50}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{134}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{67}{10}x + 9

Thus, the answer is \frac{67}{10} x + 9.
