X/8 - 10 = x/3
bring the values with the variable on one side
x/3 - x/8 = 10
find a common denominator and subtract these fractions
8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10
now subtract fractions
8x - 3x = 5x
5x/24 = -10
multiply both sides by 24
5x = -240
divide both sides by 5
x = -48
the number is -48
Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
7 orchids can be lined as 7!. This means that for the first orchid of the line, you can select 7 options. When you place the first orchid, for the second option you can select among 6 since 1 orchid has already been placed. Similarly, for the 3rd orchid of the line, you have left 5 options. The sequence goes in this fashion and for 7 orchids, you have 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 possibilities. However, there is a restriction here. 3 of the orchids are white and 4 are levender. This means that it does not make a difference if we line 3 white orchids in an arbitrary order since it will seem the same from the outside. As a result, the options for lining the 7 orchids diminish. The reduction should eliminate the number of different lining within the same colors. Similar to 7! explanation above, 3 white orchids can be lined as 3! and 4 levender orchids can be lined as 4!. To eliminate these options, we divide all options by the restrictions. The result is:
= 35. [(7*6*5*4*3*2*1/(4*3*2*1*3*2*1)]
