a) if the two gloves someone receives might both be for the left hand or right hand.

b) if each sister gets one left and one right.

Soln:

a) So i thought about dissectng the problem first into finding the number of ways in which I could make pairs of gloves:

C(12, 2)

then I asked how many ways could the sets of gloves be assigned amongst the 6 sisters:

<span><span>6!</span><span>6!</span></span>

and taking the product of this would give me the amount of ways this could occur:

= C(12,2) * 6!

then for part b)

using this same idea except:

C(6,1) C(6,1) for the left and right glove each .

the C(6,1)*C(6,1)*6!

Right way to think them through?

Find the missing length ‘x’
givi [52]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here A = 55, h = 5. b₁ = x, b₂ = 9, then

\frac{1}{2} × 5 × (x + 9) = 55

2.5(x + 9) = 55 ( divide both sides by 2.5 )

x + 9 = 22 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 13

What are the values of x that would make the line j parallel to line k? Help me please!
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

For line j to be parallel to line k, then x has to be equal to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

if line j is parallel to line k, then the two angles are equal.

They are equal because they would be alternate angles and alternate angles are equal in value

Thus,

3x + 10 = 5x + 10

5x-3x = 10-10

2x = 0

x = 0

Exponent rule : (a^b)^c = a^(b*c)

31. (x^2)^3 = x^(2 * 3) = x^6
32. (a^7)^5 = a^(7 * 5) = a^35
33. (y^13)^4 = y^(13 * 4) = y^52
34. (w^-21)^-15 = w^(-21*-15) = w^315
35. (5^2)^3 = 5^(2 * 3) = 5^6
36. (23^7)^8 = 23^(7 * 8) = 23^56
37. (-y^5)^4 = -y^(5 * 4) = y^20
38. (4y^3)^2 = 4^2 y^(3 * 2) = 16y^6
39. (8c^5)^2 = 8^2 c^(5 * 2) = 64c^10
40. (-3h^9)^2 = -3^2 h^(9 * 2) = 9h^18
41. (y^4d^6)^3 = y^(4 * 3)d^(6 * 3) = y^12d^18
42. (-15h^9k^7)^3 = -15^3h^(9*3)k^(7*3) = -3375h^27k^21
43. (k^9)^5(k^3)^2 = k(9 * 5)k^(3 * 2) = (k^45)(k^6) = k^51
44. (3y^6)^2 (x^5y^2z) = 3^2y^(6*2)(x^5y^2z) = 9y^12(x^5y^2z) =   
      9x^5y^14z
45. (4h^3)^2 (-2g^3h)^3 = 4^2h^(3*2) (-2^3g^(3*3)h^3) = 16h^6(-8g^9h^3)
      = -128g^9h^9
46. (14a^4b^6)^2 (a^6c^3)^2 = 14^2a^(4*2)b^(6*2) (a^(6*2)c^(3*2) =
      196a^8b^12(a^12c^6) = 196a^20b^12c^6

How do we maintain the value of the equivalent fractions we create? Hint: I am referring to the numerator and denominator
Free_Kalibri [48]
<span>A fraction is normally expressed in its lowest form. It means that there is no common factor for the numerator and denominator. A common factor is a number that can divide both the numerator and the denominator without a remainder. A fraction in its lowest form can have any number of equivalent fractions. To create equivalent fractions, multiply both the denominator and the denominator by the same number. For example, 1/2 will become 2/4 when multiplied by 2 and 3/6 when multiplied by 3. We can use any number to multiply but we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator.</span>
