Answer:

a) 1470 ways

b) 2835 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not correct, in the correct question The number of independents should be 3 not 2

there are 7 republicans, 10 democrats and 3 independents.

C(n,r) is the number of different combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time.

C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

a) it will consist of 1 Republican and 4 Democrats

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,1) × C(10,4) = \frac{7!}{(7-1)!1!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-4)!4!} = 7 × 210 = 1470 ways

(b) it will consist of 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and 2 Independents (consist of 2 independents not 3)

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,2) × C(10,2) × C(2,2)

 =\frac{7!}{(7-2)!2!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-2)!2!}* \frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!} = 21 × 45 × 3 = 2835 ways

Which of the following is the solution to the inequality below ? -6/5(4-x)<_-4(X+1/2)
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The answer is the option D

x\leq 7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-\frac{6}{5}(4-x)\leq -4(x+\frac{1}{2})

Multiply by -5 both sides

6(4-x)\geq 20(x+0.5)\\24-6x\geq20x+10\\24-10\geq 20x+6x\\14\geq 26x

Rewrite

26x\leq 14\\x\leq 14/26\\ x\leq 7/13

What is three more than the product of a number and 7 equals 8 . use the variable x for the unknown number?
Anastaziya [24]
(7x) + 3 = 8
subtract both sides by 3.

7x = 5
divide both sides by 7 to isolate the variable, x.

x = 5/7
