1320 ways
This can be solved using something called permutation. There are 12 possible swimmers that can be in first place. After that, 11 swimmers left to be in second place. Finally there are 10 swimmers left for third place. Multiply these together you get 12•11•10=1320. Hope this helps!!
Sounds like rearranging to me:
P=2(a+b) -- expand brackets
P=2a+2b -- subtract 2a
P-2a=2b -- divide by 2
b=(P-2a)/2
Answer:
129.99
Step-by-step explanation:
129.99 rounds to 130 because the 9 in the hundredths place causes the 9 in the tenths place to round up, making the number 130.0.
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
use distributive property: x^2+2x-1=4
remove the -1 by adding 1 on both sides: x^2+2x=5
use the guadratic fromula: ax²+bx+c=0
plug in the equation x^2+2x-5=0
a,b and c are the coefficients to plug into the formula
a=1, b=2, c=-1
Finally, you will find that x=2
Your answer is -2 1/12. :)
