Answer: 6630

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Number of documentaries = 17

Number of children's movies = 20

Total movies = 17+20=37

Number of combinations of r things taken out of things = ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Now, the number of different combinations of 3 movies can she rent if she wants at least one documentary

= (1 documentary+2 children's movies  , 2 documentary+1 children's movies , 3 documentary+0 children's movies)

=^{17}C_1\times^{20}C_{2}+^{17}C_2\times^{20}C_{1}+^{17}C_3\times^{20}C_{0}

=(17)\times\dfrac{20!}{2!18!}+\dfrac{17!}{2!15!}\times(20)+\dfrac{17!}{3!14!}(1)\\\\=3230+2720+680=6630

Hence, the  number of different combinations of 3 movies can she rent if she wants at least one documentary is 6630 .

What is the value of x?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

4x+7 = 5x-20                  

(reason: vertical angles are congruent; property used: distributive)

7 = 1x-20

1x = 7+20

1x = 27

x = 27
