Well, you could assign a letter to each piece of luggage like so...

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

What you could then do is set it against a table (a configuration table to be precise) with the same letters, and repeat the process again. If the order of these pieces of luggage also has to be taken into account, you'll end up with more configurations.

My answer and workings are below...

35 arrangements without order taken into consideration, because there are 35 ways in which to select 3 objects from the 7 objects.

210 arrangements (35 x 6) when order is taken into consideration.

*There are 6 ways to configure 3 letters.

Alternative way to solve the problem...

Produce Pascal's triangle. If you want to know how many ways in which you can choose 3 objects from 7, select (7 3) in Pascal's triangle which is equal to 35. Now, there are 6 ways in which to configure 3 objects if you are concerned about order.

If v(t)=-16t+20, find v(1/2a+1)
Temka [501]

Possible derivation:

d/da(4 - 8 a)

Differentiate the sum term by term and factor out constants:

= d/da(4) - 8 (d/da(a))

The derivative of 4 is zero:

= -8 (d/da(a)) + 0

Simplify the expression:

= -8 (d/da(a))

The derivative of a is 1:

= -8 1

Simplify the expression:

Answer: = -8

A collection of stamps consists of 3c stamps 5c stamps and 7c stamps. There are 6 more 3c stamps than 5c stamps and two more 7c
Deffense [45]

The number of 3¢ stamps that are in the collection is: 22.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

An expression can be defined as a mathematical equation which is used to show the relationship existing between two or more variables and numerical quantities.

In this exercise, you're required to determine the number of 3 cents (3¢) . Therefore, we would translate the word problem into an algebraic expression and then evaluate it as follows:

<u>Note:</u> 100 cents (¢) is equal to 1 dollar ($).

A collection of stamps consists of 3¢ stamps, 5¢ stamps and 7¢ stamps; 3¢ + 5¢ + 7¢ = 194

6 more 3¢ stamps than 5¢ stamps; 3¢ = 5¢ + 6  ⇒ 5¢ = 3¢ - 6

Two more 7¢ stamps than 3¢ stamps; 7¢ = 3¢ + 2

Combining the above equations, we have:

3¢ + 3¢ - 6 + 3¢ + 2 = 194

9¢ = 198

¢ = 198/9

¢ = 22.
