Two numbers are in the ratio 3:2. if 5 subtracted to each

Mathematics

Answer:

3 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 3 : 2 = 3x : 2x ( x is a multiple )

When 5 is subtracted from both , that is

3x - 5 : 2x - 5 = 2 : 3

Expressing the ratio in fractional form

\frac{3x-5}{2x-5} = \frac{2}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3(3x - 5) = 2(2x - 5) ← distribute both sides

9x - 15 = 4x - 10 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x - 15 = - 10 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 1

Thus the 2 numbers are

3x = 3(1) = 3 and 2x = 2(1) = 2

There are 20 students on the school's student council. A special homecoming dance committee is to be formed by randomly selectin
AysviL [449]

You can choose from 20 students for the first student, 19 for the second, 18 for the third, ..., 14 for the seventh student.

That gives you 20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14.

That number would allow you to write the students in different order. Since order here does not matter, any group with the same students in any order is the same group, you need to divide by the number of way you can order 7 items. Divide by 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

(20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14)/(7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 77,520

Answer: 77,520
