Assuming the order does not matter, you want the number of combinations of 9 things taken 5 at a time.  The combinations can be shown as C(9,5), 9C5.

C(9, 5) =
9/5(9-5) = 
9*8*7*6*5 / 5*4 

The 5 terms cancel. 

9*8*7*6 / 4*3*2 = 
9*7*2 = 
126

The above change is because 4*2 cancels the 8 in the numerator and 6/3 = 2
Therefore, the solution is 126.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is arithmetic with n th term

a_n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 1 and d = 3, thus

a_{n} = 1 + 3(n - 1) = 1 + 3n - 3 = 3n - 2 → C

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The quantity of clover seeds in pounds to be added is 11.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the quantity of poppy seeds in pounds

y -----> the quantity of clover seeds in pounds

we know that

24(x)+13(y)=20.70(x+y) -----> equation A

x=26\ pounds ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

24(26)+13(y)=20.70(26+y)

624+13y=538.2+20,70y

20.70y-13y=624-538.2

7.7y=85.8

y=11.14\ pounds

therefore

The quantity of clover seeds in pounds to be added is 11.14
