You want the minimum of the solutions to
  x + y = 24
  7x - y = 16

There are many ways to solve these equations. Adding them together, you get
  8x = 40
  x = 5

Since this value is less than 12, it is the smaller number. The smaller number is 5.

shutvik [7]
Esay, first what you have to do us move -6 to the right side and now you will have 3y=-3x+6, what you want to do next is to divide 3y by both sides and your final answer is y=-x+2, hope this helps.

There were 23 students running in a race. How many different arrangements of first, second, and third place are possible?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

10626 different arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have a total of 23 students and we want to form groups of 3, where the order of the 3 students matters, we can solve this problem using a permutation of 23 choose 3.

The formula for a permutation of n choose p is:

P(n,p) = n! / (n-p)!

So, using n = 23 and p = 3, we have:

P(23,3) = 23! / (23-3)! = 23! / 20! = 23 * 22 * 21 = 10626

So we have a total of 10626 different arrangements of first, second and third place.

What is the midpoint of AB please help
storchak [24]

Answer:

Hint: 0 is x1, -2 is y1, 10 is x2, and -6 is y2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure how to explain it, but that's how you can label your coordinates to  make it easier to substitute it into the formula. The first number at the beginning of the coordinate is x and the other is y. For example, (3, 7). The three is x and the seven y. If you have two coordinates, then one group has a 1 underneath it while the other has a 2. Simply put, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The only thing left is to find the midpoint of segment AB (or line, not sure) by using the midpoint formula.

(If you still need help, you can always reply back)
