Answer:

The 6 Lego kits can be selected from the 9 available Lego kits in 84 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use combinations to solve this problem.

Combination is defined as the selection of <em>r</em> elements from <em>n</em> distinct objects irrespective of the order. The objects cannot be replaced.

There are 9 Lego kits available.

And the total number of children is 6.

That is, we need to select 6 Lego kits from the 9 available Lego kits.

6 Lego kits can be selected from the 9 available Lego kits in 9\choose 6 ways.

Solving the combination as follows:

{9\choose 6}=\frac{9!}{6!\times(9-6)!} \\=\frac{362880}{720\times6}\\ =84

Thus, there are 84 ways to select 6 Lego kits from 9 available Lego kits.

Find the value of x.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know 4x plus 8x gets a total of 180 degrees (since a straight line is 180 degrees). Combine 4x and 8x to get 12x. To find x, divide 12 from 180. 180/12 is 15.
