The answer is

Final result :

x - 2
Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 1 :

2 1
((—•x)-7)+((—•x)+5)
3 3
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 2 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 3 :

2
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 3 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

7 7 • 3
7 = — = —————
1 3
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

2x - (7 • 3) 2x - 21
———————————— = ———————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 4 :

(2x - 21) (x + 15)
————————— + ————————
3 3
Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(2x-21) + (x+15) 3x - 6
———————————————— = ——————
3 3
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)

Final result :

x - 2

A team of 17 softball players need to choose three players to refill the water cooler. How many different ways are there to sele
KATRIN_1 [288]
<h3>Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.

So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.

An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is

_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}

where the exclamation marks indicate factorials
