Answer:

Colin can do this is 272 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first counter goes to Obi and the second to Zeema, so the order is important. This means that we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

Two counters from a set of 17. So

P_{(17,2)} = \frac{17!}{(17-2)!} = 272

Colin can do this is 272 ways.

Solve 50r − 6 = 82r − 70
Basile [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 50r - 6= 82r-70

Add 50r to 82r which equals to 132 r

Now add the the 70 to the left side so -6+70 should equal 76.

Now it should look like this 76=132r

To get the value of r you have to divide 76/132 on both sides of the equation and your answer should be 0.57=r
