Answer:25
Step-by-step explanation: first you do 5+12 which gets you 17. Then you add 17+8 and you get 25. 25 -8=17 17-12=5
This is a combination problem.
Given:
12 students
3 groups consisting of 4 students.
Mark can't be in the first group.
The combination formula that I used is: n! / r!(n-r)!
where: n = number of choices ; r = number of people to be chosen.
This is the formula I used because the order is not important and repetition is not allowed.
Since Mark can't be considered in the first group, the value of n would be 11 instead of 12. value of r is 4.
numerator: n! = 11! = 39,916,800
denominator: r!(n-r)! = 4!(11-4)! = 4!*7! = 120,960
Combination = 39,916,800 / 120,960 = 330
There are 330 ways that the instructor can choose 4 students for the first group
3.25*(x-3)
Just take out a 3.25
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x-4x-2 = -8x+2 is the only one with a solution.
-5x-4x-2 = -8x+2
-x-2 = 2
-x = 4
x = -4
