Answer:
There are 3478761 ways to select the first 5 numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
As understood from the statement of this problem we assume that it does not matter the order in which the first 5 white balls are selected.
In this case it is a combination.
So, what we want to know is how many ways you can choose 5 white balls out of 55.
Then we use the formula of combinations:

Where you have n elements and choose x from them.
Then we look for:

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x(5+4)=(_x5)+(_x4)
lets start with 2x(5+4)
(5+4)=9
so we are left with 2x9
2x9=18
so now we have 18=(_x5)+(_x4)
lets try 2 for the blank spaces
18=(2x5)+(2x4)
2x5=10
2x4=8
10+8=18
2x(5+4)=(2x5)+(2x4)
It worked! Hope this helps :)
I think it’s b since it looks like a trapezoid
