Step-by-step explanation:

40children - 23 (with A, O) = 17left

26 letter in alphabet- ( A, O) = 24 letter left

24 letters left - 14 (not used for 1st letters) = 10

10 letters left to use/ 17 children left

10÷17 = 0.5882352941 x 10 =5.8 or as close to 6 I can get

14 of the letters of the alphabet do not appear as the first letter of surname

15 surnames begin with 10 letters beside O and A

N+5n-3c PLS anyone I need this for my test And I need it right now pls
iVinArrow [24]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

I'm assuming this is a <em>combining like terms</em> question, in which case the answer would be 6n - 3c.

<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>

I'm guessing your teacher wants you to combine the like terms, and 1n plus 5n = 6n, minus 3c is the answer, which is 6n - 3c. If your teacher wanted you to solve for each variable, you can't do that because you don't have enough information, and there's an infinite number of solutions.
