Answer: 120

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

We have seven slots to fill. Let's call the slots A, B, C, D, E, F, G

There are 10 choices for slot A

There are 9 choices for slot B

There are 8 choices for slot C

There are 7 choices for slot D

There are 6 choices for slot E

There are 5 choices for slot F

There are 4 choices for slot G

We count down because each previous slot reduces the pool to choose from. Multiply those values out: 10*9*8*7*6*5*4 = 604800

Now divide that result by 5040. Why 5040? Because this is the number of ways to arrange 7 people within a single grouping. Note how 7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5040. W're dividing because order does not matter for any committee.

So we have 604800/5040 = 120 which is the answer we want

---------------

Side note: We could use the alternate route of the nCr combination formula

nCr = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)

where n = 10 and r = 7

Write a conditional statement that correctly describes each venn diagram in the space provided?
MakcuM [25]
Remember that a conditional statement (p→q) is an if-then in which the first part, p, is the hypothesis and the second part, q, is the conclusion. 

1. Here the set m<span>∠A=40° is a subset of the set Acute Angles, so </span>m∠A=40° is the hypothesis and Acute Angles is the conclusion. 
In other words:
m∠A=40°→∠A is an Acute Angle 
if m∠A=40°, then ∠A is an Acute Angle

We can conclude that the conditional statement that describes the Venn diagram is: if m∠A=40°, then ∠A is an Acute Angle

2. Just like before, the set 2x=4 is a subset of the set x=2; therefore, 2x=4 is the hypothesis and x=2 is the conclusion.
In other words:
2x=4→x=2
if 2x=4, then x=2

We can conclude that the conditional statement that describes the Venn diagram is: if 2x=4, then x=2

A man walks for x hours at a speed of
alexandr1967 [171]

Given:

A man walks for x hours at a speed of  (x + 1) km/h and cycles for (x - 1) hours at  a speed of (2x + 5) km/h.

Total distance  travelled is 90 km.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Speed\times Time=Distance

A man walks for x hours at a speed of  (x + 1) km/h, so walking distance is

D_1=(x+1)(x) km

The man cycles for (x - 1) hours at  a speed of (2x + 5) km/h, so the cycling distance is

D_2=(2x+5)(x-1) km

Now,

Total distance = 90 km

D_1+D_2=90

(x+1)x+(2x+5)(x-1)=90

x^2+x+2x^2-2x+5x-5-90=0

3x^2+4x-95=0

3x^2+19x-15x-95=0

x(3x+19)-5(3x+19)=0

(3x+19)(x-5)=0

3x+19=0\text{ and }x-5=0

x=\dfrac{-19}{3}\text{ and }x=5

Time cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 5.
