Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-18 + 2a = 2(3a + 1)

Expand the bracket on the right

-18 + 2a = 2 x 3a + 2 x 1

-18 + 2a = 6a + 2

Add 18 to both sides

-18 + 18 + 2a = 6a + 2 + 18

2a = 6a + 20

Subtract 6a from both sides

2a - 6a = 6a - 6a + 20

-4a = 20

Divide both sides by -4

-4a/-4 = 20/-4

a = -5

Prove that C(50,3) + C(50,4) = C(51,4)

valkas [14]

By definition of the binomial coefficient,

$C(n,k) = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

so we have

$C(50,3) + C(50,4) = \dfrac{50!}{3!47!} + \dfrac{50!}{4!46!} \\\\ = \dfrac{50!}{3!46!} \left(\dfrac1{47} + \dfrac14\right) \\\\ = \dfrac{50!}{3!46!} \times \dfrac{51}{188} \\\\ = \dfrac{51!}{3!46!} \times \dfrac1{4\times47} \\\\ = \dfrac{51!}{4!47!} \\\\ = \dfrac{51!}{4!(51-4)!} = C(51,4)$

as required.
