Answer:

(-2 ,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Rewrite first equation

x = 4 - 2y

-2x + y = 7

Step 2: Substitution

-2(4 - 2y) + y = 7

Step 3: Solve y

-8 + 4y + y = 7

-8 + 5y = 7

5y = 15

y = 3

Step 3: Plug in y to find x

x + 2(3) = 4

x + 6 = 4

x = -2

Evaluate 3C1. a)3 b)1 c)2 d)6

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: Option a) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating combinations is as follows

$nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Where "n" is the amount of items in a set and you can choose "r" from them

3C1 reads as: The combination of 1 in 3. You have a set of 3 elements and choose 1 of them.

$n = 3\\\\r = 1$

So :

$3C1=\frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}\\\\3C1=\frac{3!}{1!*2!}\\\\3C1=\frac{3*2*1}{1*2*1}\\\\3C1=3$
