Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Once you give 1 candy to each of the 4 kids, you will have 3 remaining. The number of ways those can be distributed to 4 kids is given by ...

(n+k-1)C(n)

where n is the number of candies, and k is the number of kids. "aCb" is the number of ways a can be taken b at a time:

aCb = a!/(b!(a-b)!)

For n=3 and k=4, this is ...

(3+4-1)C(3) = 6C3 = 6!/(3!·3!) = 20

There are 20 ways to distribute 7 candies to 4 kids so that each kid receives at least one.

Answer:

$5 {x}^{2} + 2x = 7x + 3x \\ 5 {x}^{2} + 2x = 10x \\ 5 {x}^{2} = 10x - 2x \\ 5 {x}^{2} = 8x \\ 5x = 8 \\ x = \frac{8}{5} = 1.6 \\ thank \: you$

Yo im not good at this stuff, can someone help me?

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

21 kWh

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 25% from the original amount.

25% of 28 kWh is ...

0.25 × 28 kWh = 7.00 kWh

Subtracting this from 28 kWh, we find the usage after reduction to be ...

28 kWh - 7 kWh = 21 kWh

2. We know that if we reduce 100% of a quantity by 25%, then the resulting amount is (100 -25)% = 75% of the original. As a fraction, this is 75/100 = 3/4 of the original amount. Then the reduced usage is ...

(3/4) × (28 kWh) = 3·(7·4)/4 kWh = 3·7 kWh = 21 kWh

Mario must reduce his usage to 21 kWh or less.
