Probably the subsitution method
y=1/2x
subsitute that fr y
2x+3(1/2x)=28
2x+3/2x=28
times 2 both sides
4x+3x=56
7x=56
divide by 7 both sides
x=8
sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(8)
y=4
(x,y)
(8,4)
Out of 8 men, 4 can be selected and lined up in (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) = 1,680 ways.
But within that number, each group of 4 appears in (4 x 3 x 2) = 24 orders.
So there are (1,680 / 24) = 70 different groups of men.
Out of 5 women, 3 can be selected and lined up in (5 x 4 x 3) = 60 ways.
But within that number, each group of 3 appears in (3 x 2) = 6 orders.
So there are (60 / 6) = 10 different groups of women.
Each different group of 70 men can be joined by any of the 10 groups
of women. So the total number of possible subcommittees is (70 x 10) = 700 .
It is A. 2^12.
The question asks for the value of 8 to the x-power. Divided by 2 to the y-power. the trick to solving this is to rewrite 8^x as 2^3x. so you will have 2^3x divided by 2^y. since the bases are now the same , you can subtract the exponents to get the result of 2^3x-y. since it is given the 3x-y is 12. your final answer is 2^12
Bring the 13 over to read
13-12y-13=0
then move the 12y over do it becomes
13-13=12y
0=12y
y=0
