Answer:

She started with 26 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

She started with x boxes. Then she bought 8 more boxes. Now she had x + 8 boxes. Then half the boxes were destroyed, so she has the other half of the boxes. Half of the boxes is (x + 8)/2. She has now 17 boxes, so (x + 8)/2 = 17.

(x + 8)/2 = 17

Multiply both sides by 2.

x + 8 = 34

Subtract 8 from both sides.

x = 26

She started with 26 boxes.

Can someone help solve for X
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

x = 2sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

The legs are x and 8/2 =4

and the hypotenuse is 6

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 +4^2 = 6^2

x^2 +16 = 36

Subtract 16 from each side

x^2 +16-16=36-16

x^2 = 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(20)

x = sqrt(4*5)

x = sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

x = 2sqrt(5)

The newly elected president needs to decide the remaining 7 spots available in the cabinet he/she is appointing. If there are 13
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 8648640 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of positions = 7

Number of eligible candidates = 13

This can be done by solving the question using the combination Formula for selection in which we use the combination formula to choose 7 candidates amomg the possible 13.

The combination Formula is denoted as:

nCr = n! / (n-r)! * r!

Where n = total number of possible options.

r = number of options to be selected.

Hence, selecting 7 candidates from 13 becomes:

13C7 = 13! / (13-7)! * 7!

13C7 = 1716.

Considering the order they can come in, they can come in 7! Orders. We multiply this order by the earlier answer we calculated. This give: 1716 * 7! = 8648640
