Kendall and Sophia swam (2n - 12) laps together

Solution:

Given that, Kendall Swam (n) laps in the pool

To find: Number of laps swam together

From given statement,

Number of laps by Kendall = n

Also, Sophia swam 12 less than Kendall

Therefore, number of laps swam by Sophia is 12 less than the number of laps by Kendall

Number of laps by Sophia = Number of laps by Kendall - 12

Number of laps by Sophia = n - 12

How many laps did they swim altogether ?

Number of laps swam together = Number of laps by Kendall + Number of laps by Sophia

Number of laps swam together = n + n - 12 = 2n - 12

Thus they swam (2n - 12) laps together

Given:

Consider the equation is:

$5m-2m+3=-1+12$

Some steps of the solution are given.

To find:

The next step of the solution.

Solution:

Step 1: The given equation is:

$5m-2m+3=-1+12$

Step 2: Simplifying right hand side.

$5m-2m+3=11$

Step 3: Simplifying left hand side.

$3m+3=11$

These steps are already given. So, the next step is:

Step 4: Subtracting 3 from both sides.

$3m=8$

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

At a high school, students can choose between three art electives, four history electives, and five computer electives. Each stu

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$\frac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^{12}C_2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Art electives = 3,

History electives = 4,

Computer electives = 5,

Total number of electives = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12,

Since, if a student chooses an art elective and a history elective,

So, the total combination of choosing an art elective and a history elective = $^3C_1\times ^4C_1$

Also, the total combination of choosing any 2 subjects out of 12 subjects = $^{12}C_2$

Hence, the probability that a student chooses an art elective and a history elective = $\frac{\text{Total combination of choosing an art elective and a history}}{\text{ Total combination of choosing any 2 subjects}}$

$=\frac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^{12}C_2}$

Which is the required expression.
