$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+7y=1\\2x-4y=12&\text{change the signs}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+7y=1\\-2x+4y=-12\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of equations}\\.\qquad\qquad11y=-11\qquad\text{divide both sides by 11}\\.\qquad\qquad \boxed{y=-1}\\\\\text{Put the value of y to the first equation:}\\\\2x+7(-1)=1\\2x-7=1\qquad\text{add 7 to both sides}\\2x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=4}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{x=4\ and\ y=-1\to(4,\ -1)}$

Suppose that 5 out of 13 people are to be chosen to go on a mission trip. In how many ways can these 5 be chosen if the order in

algol [13]

5 People can be chosen in 1287 ways if the order in which they are chosen is not important.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students= 13

Number of Students to be selected= 5

To Find :

The number of ways in which the 5 people can be selected=?

Solution:

Let us use the permutation and combination to solve this problem

$nCr=\frac{(n)!}{(n-r)!(r)!}$

So here , n =13 and r=5 ,

So after putting the value of n and r , the equation will be

$13C_5=\frac{(13)!}{(13-5)!(5)!}$

$13C_5=\frac{(13 \times12 \times11 \times10 \times9 \times8\times7 \times6 \times5 \times4 \times3 \times2 \times1)}{(8 \times7 \times6 \times5 \times4 \times3 \times2 \times1)(5 \times4 \times3 \times2 \times1)}$
