Answer:

<h3>720 different ways</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation has to do with arrangement. If r objevt selected from n pool of objects are to be arranged in a straight line, this can be done in nPr number of ways.

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

If 5 people are to be chosen and arranged in a straight line, if there are 6 people to choose from, this can be done in 6P5 numbe of ways.

6P5 = 6!/(6-5)!

6P5 = 6!/1!

6P5 = 6*5*4*3*2*1

6P5 = 720 different ways

How to solve 4/7y-2 = 3/7 + 3/14

lisabon 2012 [21]

Solution

1) Simplify $\frac{4}{7y}$ to $\frac{4y}{7}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ −2= $\frac{3}{7}$ + $\frac{3}{14}$

2) Simplify $\frac{3}{7}$ + $\frac{3}{14}$ to 914
 $\frac{4y}{7}$ −2= $\frac{9}{14}$

3) Add 2 to both sides
 $\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{9}{14}$ +2

4) Simplify $\frac{9}{14
}$ +2 to $\frac{37}{14}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{37}{14}$

5) Multiply both sides by 7
4y= $\frac{37}{14}$ ×7

6) Simplify $\frac{37}{14}$ ×7 to $\frac{259}{14}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{259}{14}$

7) Simplify $\frac{259}{14}$ to $\frac{37}{2}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{37}{2}$

8) Divide both sides by 4
y= $\frac{37}{2}$ ×4

9) Simplify 2×4 to 8
y= $\frac{37}{8}$
