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

What is the area of this figure?
Elanso [62]
First of all we can draw a parallel line to divide the figure into a triangle and a rectangle as shown in the figure. To find the area of our rectangle, remember that the area of a rectangle is length times width, so A_{r} =lw. Since we know for our figure that the length and width of our rectangle are 13cm and 6cm respectively, lets replace those values in our formula to get its area:
A _{r} =(13cm)(6cm)
A=78cm^{2}
Similarly, the area of a triangle is one half times base times height, so At=( \frac{1}{2})bh. Since we know that our base is 8cm and our height 6cm, lets replace those values in our equation to find the area of our triangle:
A_{t} =( \frac{1}{2})(8cm)(6cm)
A_{t} =24cm^{2}

Now the only thing left is add our areas:
 A_{total} =78cm^{2}+24cm^{2}  =102cm^{2}

We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>A. 102</span>

What is the value of 6x-3x +7 if x=9?
Lynna [10]

6x - 3x + 7 \\ 3x + 7 \\ 3(9) + 7 \\ 27 + 7 \\  = 34
Combine like terms and "plug in" x into the equation to eventually get 34 after some addition

If f(x) = 7(x-1)+8, what is the value of f(1)
nevsk [136]
F(1) = 8

Steps:
f(x) = 7(x-1) + 8
f(1) = 7(1-1) + 8
f(1) = 7(0) + 8
f(1) = 0 + 8
f(1) = 8
