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 !
If your solving for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
-24 ≤ 3x - 9 First add 9 on both sides
-24 + 9 ≤ 3x - 9 + 9
-15 ≤ 3x Then divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
-5 ≤ x [or x ≥ -5 if you prefer "x" to be on the left side]
6.02 - 3.9 = 2.12 km
Convert 2.12 km to meters.
2.12 km = 2,120 meters.
Since you provide no information about the median salary, i'm gonna use the national data, whcih is around $ 13,000 per year
Cost of education for 2 year = $30,000
Since he's still working in those 2 years, he'll earn = $ 26,000
Which means he just need to work for around half a year to cover the remaining $4,000 , so i think the answer is 2.5 years
hope this helps
