12 people were at the party.

You can choose 12 people to be one person, and 11 to be a person they are shaking hands with. However, this allows us to choose person A, then person B, or Person B, then Person A. We don't want to double-count this case, so we divide by 2. 12*11/2=66, so 12 works.

Explain what mistake was made in the problem below and what should be the

romanna [79]

Answer:

Instead of moving the 3x to the opposite side of the equation they moved the 2x. And the correct answer is x=-6 not x=6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Student Work:

2(x + 4) – 8 = 3x+10-4

2x + 8–8 = 3x + 6

2x = 3x + 6

- 3x – 3x

X = 6

My work:

2(x+4)-8=3x+10-4

2x+8-8=3x+6

2x=3x+6

-x=6

x=-6

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

5.73cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Circumference of the circle = 36cm

Unknown

Length of the radius = ?

Lets represent the radius by r

Solution

The circumference of a circle is the defined as the perimeter of a circle. The formula is given as:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Since the unknown is r, we make it the subject of the formula:

r = $\frac{circumference of the circle}{2π}$

r = $\frac{36}{2 x 3.142}$ = $\frac{36}{6.284}$ = 5.73cm

bezimeni [28]

Since 32 mil is 1/10 of the US pop, multiply 32 mil by 10 so you get the 10/10 aka the whole US pop. That means it would be 320,000,000. All you do is add a zero to 32 mil since you multiply by 10. 32 mil originally had 6 zeros. After multiplying, you have 7 zeros.
