Total number of ways to make a pair:
The first player can be any one of 7 . For each of those . . .
The opponent can be any one of the remaining 6 .
Total ways to make a pair = 7 x 6 = 42 ways .
BUT ... every pair can be made in two ways ... A vs B or B vs A .
So 42 'ways' make only (42/2) = 21 different pairs.
If every pair plays 2 matches, then (21 x 2) = <em><u>42 total matches</u></em> will be played.
Now, is that an elegant solution or what !
The common factor in both terms is 10<span />
Answer:
1: -13
Step-by-step explanation:
First, simplify the equation to -2y+10=36
Subtract 10 from both sides
-2y=26
Divide negative 2 from both sides
y=-13
Answer: <em><u>C. the base period amount.</u></em>
<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>While implementing a horizontal analysis on a given income statement, we compute a percentage change in any individual item by dividing the dollar amount of change from base to current time period with <u><em>the base period amount.</em></u>
i.e. % Change in Individual item = 
<u><em>Therefore, the correct option in this case is (c)</em></u>
