Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
5 times -3 is -15
absolute value of -12 plus 4 is 8
-15 plus 8 plus -1 is -8
There are 32,760 different orders for the first four positions.
This is a permutation where repetition is not allowed; the formula for that is:

For our problem, we have:
1 and 5/16 pounds
Divide 7/8 with 2/3
Answer:
(-3,-20)
Step-by-step explanation:
4 +8x = y ...... equation (1)
6x - y = 2 ........equation(2)
from equation 2
6x - y = 2
6x -(4+8x) =2
6x - 4 + 8x = 2
+4 +4
6x - 8x = 6
-2x=6
divide by -2
x= -3
put x in equation (1) to solve for y
4 + 8x = y
4+8(-3)=y
4-24=y
-20=y
y= -20
solution = (-3,-20)
