Each medal is different and is handed out depending on the outcome of the race/order of the racers, so we're counting the number of permutations. 4 medals are given to 4 runners, so there are

possible ways to do it.
Answer:
x has infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
|4x−4(x+1)|=4
Simplify inside the absolute value by distributing the 4
|4x−4x+4|=4
Combine like terms
|4|=4
The absolute value of 4 is 4
4=4
This is always true, so x is all real values
x has infinite solutions
This is volume of a sphere.
First you distribute the -12 to the (x+5) getting 144=-12x-60.
Next you add 60 to each side getting 204=-12x
Then you divide each side by -12 getting -17=x, which is the answer.<span />
Answer:
Rather than just do the calculation I have given a lot of guidance as to how to go about the process.
x=1/2
