Answer:

1320 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In a race in which twelve automobiles are entered and there are no ties.

We have to find the ways in which first three finishers come in.

In these questions when order is fixed means when first, second and third positions are fixed (First comes, then second and then third) then we use the permutation to find the number of ways.

3 positions out of 12 automobiles = ^{12}P_{3}=\frac{12!}{(12-3)!}

= \frac{12!}{9!}

= \frac{(12)(11)(10)(9!)}{(9!)}

= 12×11×10

= 1320

In 1320 ways first three automobiles may come in.

That is 3 slots
12 in 1st slot
11 in 2nd
10 in 3rd

so that is 12*11*10 or 1320 ways

PLEASE HELP!! I WILL MARK BRAINLIST

Answer:

m∠5 = 44°; m∠7 = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 4 and 1 are supplementary (they make up a line) and their sum is equal to 180 degrees.

Subtracting the measure of angle 4 from 180 degrees gives the measure of angle 1. (180 - 136 = 44).

So Angle 1's measure is 44 degrees.

According to the Corresponding Angle Postulate, Angle 1 and Angle 5 are congruent. Therefore, m∠5 = 44°

According to the Vertical Angles Postulate (if two angles are vertical, they are congruent), ∠5 ≅ ∠7, meaning that m∠5 = m∠7.

So m∠7 = 44°

3x + 8 = 3x + []

Subtract 3x from both sides.

[] = 8

If you want no values of x, it can be any positive value other than 8.
If you want all values of x, the value must be 8.
If you want only one value of x, it is impossible because both equations have the same slope.
