Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The total number of students are: 24+26+21=71

He wants each team will have the same number of students between 5 and 9.

The number between 5 to 9 are 6, 7 and 8.

The number 71 is a prime number so we need to divide the 71 students in group so that minimum students left without team.

Dividing 6 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{6} = 11 teams and 5 students.

Dividing 7 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{7} = 10 teams and 1 students.

Dividing 8 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{8} = 8 teams and 7 students.

Thus, we can not divide 71 students into equal teams, but 70 divided by 7 gives the least students left out i.e 10 teams each with 7 students and only 1 student will remain at last.

If (a,b) is an ordered pair for x-y=5, is (b,a) also a solution?
alina1380 [7]
The answer is no. Because solution (a,b) means x=a, y=b.and we have a-b=5.  And (b,a) would mean x=b and y=a but then x-y=b-a=-(a-b)=-5≠5. So  the pair (b,a) is not a solution.
