How many different ways can the letters of “football” be arranged

<h3>Answer:   10,080</h3>

Explanation:

There are 8 letters so there are 8! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40,320 permutations of those letters. However, the letters "O" and "L" show up twice each, so we must divide by 2! = 2*1 = 2 for each instance this happens.

So,

(8!)/(2!*2!) = (40,320)/(2*2) = (40,320)/4 = 10,080

is the number of ways to arrange the letters of "football".

The reason we divide by 2 for each instance of a duplicate letter is because we can't tell the difference between the two "O"s or the two "L"s. If there was a way to distinguish between them, then we wouldnt have to divide by 2.

One number is 7 less than another. If 4 times the smaller number plus 2 times the larger number is 62, find the two numbers.
Nana76 [90]
X=Y-7

4X+2Y=62

4(Y-7)+2Y=62

4Y-28+2Y=62

6Y=62+28

6Y=90

Y=90/6

Y=15
Larger number^

X=15-7=8
Smaller number^
PROOF:
4*8+2*15=62

32+30=62

62=62
Hope this helps.

What is the slope-intercept equation for the line below? (0,1) (4,3)
levacccp [35]

y2 - y1

---------

x2 - x1

3 - 1        2            1

------- = -------- = --------

4 - 0        4            2

Find the y-intercept:

1 = 1/2(0) + b

1 = 0 + b

-0  -0

1 = b

The slope-intercept equation is:

y = 1/2x + 1

so its D
