Answer: N = 40,320

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange 10 people to a line of 8 people.

The number of ways is n = 10P8.

But since the condition given states that 2 people must stay in two particular slots.

The number of possible arrangements becomes;

N = number of ways of arranging the remaining people × number of ways of arranging the other 2.

N = 8P6 × 2P2

N = 8!/2! × 2!

N = 20,160 × 2

N = 40,320 ways

LuckyWell [14K]
First you would distribute through the parenthesis
-10x+2+7(5x-1)-3(-5x+1)
Then distribute
-10x+2+35x-7-3(-5x+1)
And then distribute 3
-10x+2+35x-7+15x-3
Collect like terms
40x+2-7-3
40x-8 is your answer :)

19/2 × 11/3
