Simple...
you have

and

Just subtract...but first find a common denominator...
Use 40 as the common denominator...

and

So, subtract,

=

Thus, your answer.
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
ln 1=0
x-5=1
x=6
Start by writing the system down, I will use
to represent 

Substitute the fact that
into the first equation to get,

Simplify into a quadratic form (
),

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

which then must factor into

And the solutions will be
.
Clearly for small coefficients like ours
, this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that
.
This fits the definition as
and
.
So as mentioned, solutions will equal to
but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form
.
To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.
So the solution pairs are
and
.
Hope this helps :)
The numbers of choices in each category are multiplied together. We assume the order of paint choices matters: using color 1 in area A and color 2 in area B is not the same as using color 2 in area A and color 1 in area B.
P(7,2)*4*3*2 = 42*4*3*2 = 1008 ways
_____
P(n, k) = n!/(n-k)!
P(7, 2) = 7*6 = 42
