(6,-4) is the correct answer
The answer would be 2 because the problem(after rewriting it) is -8w+48=32. so then you subtract 48 from both sides and get -8w=-16. then divide both sides by -8 and you get 2
The answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new
amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y,
which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use
the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this
equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you
need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
Number of ways the second grade students can sit on the first row is 5! = 5P5
Number of ways 15 first grade students can sit in the remaining 20 seats is 20P15
Therefore, required number of ways is 5P5 * 20P15. (option B)
