Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-5=-17
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
6x=-12
Divide both sides by 6 to get x alone.
x=-2
solution:
I choose 5 women from a pool of 10 in 10C2 ways.
I choose 5 men from a pool of 12 in 12C2 ways.
So total number of ways of choosing in 10C2 x 12C2. Now I need to arrange them in 5 pairs. This is where I have a different solution. The solution says that there are 5! ways to arrange them in pairs.
But I cant seem to understand why? My reasoning is that for first pair position I need to choose 1 man from 5 and 1 woman from 5. So for the first position I have 5 x 5 choices (5 for man and 5 for woman). Similarly for the second position I have 4 x 4 choices and so on. Hence the total ways are 5! x 5!
So I calculate the total ways as 10C2 * 12C2 * 5! * 5!. Can anyone point the flaw in my reasoning for arranging the chosen men and women in pairs.
Answer:
22 and -22
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value means the distance of a number from zero
11/16 + 3/16 = 14/16 = 7/8
The answer is 7/8
Answer:
38 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up as proportion and cross multiply to solve:
x/57 = 18.9/28
x = 38.475
Rounded this would be 38 m.
