Answer:

(4,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the two equations:

$ 4x + 2y = 32 \hspace{15mm} .....(1) $ and

$ 5x + 2y = 36 \hspace{15mm}  .....(2) $

Subtracting (1) from (2):

⇒ 5x + 2y -4x - 2y = 36 - 32

⇒                  x = 4

Substituting the value of x in (1), we get:

4(4) + 2y = 32

⇒ 2y = 16

⇒                      y = 8

We write the solution in ordered pair as (x,y) = (4,8).

Trava [24]
There are 72 different ways the director can fill the positions.

(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8) x 2


You multiply it by 2 because there are going to be 4 other people who will not have a position, and 8/4 is 2.
