The astronomer has to choose 3 star images out of 8.This is a problem of combinations. This can be expressed as 8C3 i.e. combination of 8 objects taken 3 at a time.

8C3= \frac{8!}{3!*5!}=56

This means, if 8 images are nearby the astronomer will have 56 choices <span>of the three stars.</span>

Pavel [41]

Answer:

\large\boxed{a=\dfrac{K}{4+9b}}

Step-by-step explanation:

K=4a+9ab\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\K=a(4+9b)\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ (4+9b)\neq0\\\\\dfrac{K}{(4+9b)}=\dfrac{a(4+9b)}{(4+9b)}\\\\\dfrac{K}{4+9b}=a
