If we want to get B by itself, we need to "undo" every operation being done to it. Those operations are (in order):
- Multiplication by A
- Addition with 3C
To undo these then, we'll need to:
And, since this is an equation, we'll need to do both of those to the right side as well to keep everything equal. Here we go:
AB + 3C - 3C = D - 3C (subtracting 3C)
AB/A = (D - 3C)/A (dividing by A)
B = (D - 3C)/A
And we're done! If you'd like to see it formatted a little nicer, here's this:
Answer: 14,515,200
Note: this is a single number (not an ordered triple or a collection of three different numbers) roughly equal to about 14.5 million if you round to the nearest hundred thousand.
----------------------------------------------
Explanation:
There are 13 people. Let's call them person A, person B, person C, ... all the way up to person M. The first four people are given who we'll call A through D. The rest (E through M) aren't really important since they aren't named.
A = Monsier Thenardier
B = Madame Thenardier
C = Cosette
D = Marius
Peron's E through M = remaining 9 people
------------------
A and B must stick together. Because of this, we can consider "AB" as one "person".
So we go from 13 people to 13-2+1 = 12 "people".
Likewise, C and D must stick together. We can consider "CD" as one "person". So we go from 12 "people" to 12-2+1 = 11 "people"
------------------
The question is now: how many ways can we arrange these 11 "people" around a circular table? The answer is (n-1)! ways where n = 11 in this case
So, (n-1)! = (11-1)! = 10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800
We're almost at the answer. We need to do two adjustments.
First off, for any single permutation, there are two ways to arrange "AB". The first is "AB" itself and the second is the reverse of that "BA". So we will multiply 3,628,800 by 2 to get 2*3,628,800 = 7,257,600
Using similar logic for "CD", we double 7,257,600 to get 2*7,257,600 = 14,515,200
The final answer is 14,515,200
Answer:
w=p/2-l
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to simplify the equation p=2(l+w).
1) Isolate the variables l and q
p/2=l+w
2) Subtract the length from the width.
p/2-l=w
3) The answer is b, or w=p/2-l
Answer:
Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the bigger polygon : Area of the smaller polygon = square of the side length of the bigger polygon : square of the corresponding side length of the smaller polygon
Let "x" represent the area of the smaller polygon
Thus, we have:
100/x = 20²/4²
100/x = 400/16
100/x = 25
Cross multiply
25x = 100
Divide both sides by 25
25x/25 = 100/25
x = 4
Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
