3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y)  = 0\end{cases}  \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z =  \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61

The new ointment was applied to four locations, and a control was applied to the other four. How many different choices were the
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a total of 8 locations ( 4 to the new ointment and 4 to the control) ,  each one can be chosen and since the order of the locations that are chosen for the new ointment is not relevant  , then we know that the number of choices is given by the number of combinations of 4 elements in 8

number of combinations = 8 possible locations to the first ointment * 7 possible locations to the second ( since the first one was already located) * 6 to the third * 5 locations for the fourth / number of times the same combination is repeated ( the same locations but in different positions) = 8*7*6*5 / (4 possible positions for the first ointment* 3 possible positions to the second ointment (since the first one was already located * 2 possible positions of the third * 1 possible position of the fourth)

therefore

number of combinations = 8*7*6*5/(4*3*2*1 ) = 8!/((8-4)!*4!) = 70 possible combinations

thus there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment
