You must calculate how many ways can 2 people be selected from 65.
The formula is:
n! / r! * (n-r)! =
65! / 2! * 63! =
65*64*63! / 2 * 63! =
65*64 / 2 =
2,080 handshakes

Find the term indicated in the expansion. (x - 3y)11; 8th term
Alja [10]
The term in the expansion:
T ( k+1) = n C k * A^(n-k) * B^k.
In this case: n = 11,  k + 1 = 8, so k = 7.
A = x, B = - 3 y
T 8 = 11 C 7 * x^(11-7) * ( - 3 y )^7 =
 =( 11 *10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 ) / ( 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1  )* x^4 * ( - 2,187 y^7 ) =
= 330 * ( - 2,187 ) x^4 y^7 = - 721,710 x^4 y^7

The figure consists of three objects, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a triangle

Find the area of the rectangle
The rectangle is 16 in long and 9 in wide
a₁ = l × w
a₁ = 16 × 9
a₁ = 144 in²

Find the area of the trapezoid
The base of trapezoid is 31 in and 16 in, and the height is 35 - 20 = 15 in.
a₂ = 1/2 × (a + b) × h
a₂ = 1/2 × (31 + 16) × 15
a₂ = 1/2 × 47 × 15
a₂ = 352.5 in²

Find the area of the triangle
The base of the triangle is 31 in, the height is 20 in
a₃ = 1/2 × b × h
a₃ = 1/2 × 31 × 20
a₃ = 310 in²

Add the area together
a = a₁ + a₂ + a₃
a = 144 + 352.5 + 310
a = 806.5

The answer is 806.5 in²

Solve the system of equations by substitution.<br> y = 5x - 13<br> 4x + 3y = 18<br> The solution is
Rudik [331]

Answer:

x=3 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 4x+3(5x-13)=18

expand into 4x+15x-39=18

18+39= 57

15x+4x= 19x

57/19= 3 so x=3

substitute 3 into y= 5x - 13

and you get 2 so y=2
