Answer:
24 Combinations Total
Step-by-step explanation:
METHOD 1 (no advanced math skills needed)
i. Number the friends: a, b, c, and d
ii. List all possible combinations...
- a b c d
- a b d c
- a c b d
- a c d b
- a d b c
- <u>a d c b</u>
- b a c d
- b a d c
- b c a d
- b c d a
- b d a c
- <u>b d c a</u>
- c a b d
- c a d b
- c b a d
- c b d a
- c d a b
- <u>c d b a</u>
- d a b c
- d a c b
- d b a c
- d b c a
- d c a b
- <u>d c b a</u>
To speed up the process instead of sitting here and listing 24 combinations, after two sections you can see that with friend "a" sitting all the way at the left there are six combinations and the same goes for friend "b". You can then multiply 6 (number of combinations with that friend <em>first</em>) and 4 (friends) to get 24.
METHOD 2
n! means the total number for permutations calculation (1 x 2 x ... until you reach <u><em>n</em></u><em> </em>) = 24
–3x + 9 = –3(2x + 3) + 3(x – 4) + 1
Use distributive property:
-3x + 9 = -6x -9 + 3x -12 + 1
Simplify by combining like terms:
-3x + 9 = -3x - 20
Subtract 9 from both sides:
-3x = -3x -29
Add 3x to both sides :
0 = -29
This is a false statement, so there are no solutions.
Answer: 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15 feet width of actual garden
360 feet^2 is area
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale in drawing:
width : length
5 : 8
Actual Meausrements:
x: 24
Actual Width = 5:8
x : 24
8x = 24 x 5
8x = 120
120/8 = 15
Area of garden= lxw
15 x 24
= 360 feet^2
