How many combinations exist of the letters w, x, y, z, taking two at a time?

The binomial coefficient

\displaystyle \binom{4}{2} = \dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = \dfrac{4\cdot 3}{2} = 2\cdot 3 = 6

Tells you that there are 6 ways of choosing a subset of two letters from the four given letters.

For each of these subsets there are two combinations (you can interchange the two letters: say that you choose the subset wz, you have the two combinations wz and zw)

So, there is a total of 12 combinations of the letters w, x, y, z, taking two at a time.

ABCD×9=DCBA<br>(what is the value of A, B, C and D)​
Anettt [7]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The only value that would make sense is if at least one of the variables (A , B , C , D) is 0 (if not all of them). When multiplied, the answer will still be 0, thereby making the equation true.

What is the value of the expression below when z =5 and w=5? 9z-3w
zysi [14]
This is just about substitution!! 9(5)-3(5), 3 • 5 = 15
9 • 5 = 45
so Now you have, 45 - 15 = 30

Mei and Alberto are selling cookie dough. Mei sold 11 packages of chocolate chip and 12 packages of gingerbread for a total of $
ycow [4]

Answer:

The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25

The price of a package of gingerbread is $17.18

Step-by-step explanation:

11x + 12y = 352

10x +8y = 270

Let "x" be the price of a package of chocolate chip.

Let "y" be the price of a package of gingerbread.

11x + 12y = 352(Multiply the 1st row by 10)

10x +8y = 270 (Multiply the 2nd row by 11)

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

110x + 120y = 3520

110x +88y = 2970

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

        3y = 550

y =550/3

y = 17.1875

The price of a package of gingerbread "y" is $17.18

Let's pick the first equation "110x + 120y = 3520"

110x + 120y = 3520

110x+ 120(17.1875)= 3520

110x+2062.5=3520

110x=3520−2062.5

110x=1457.5

x= 1457.5/110

x=13.25

The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
