2/3 x = 4/5

multiply both side by 3/2 it gets x alone

2/3 * 3/2 = 1

2/3 x * 3/2 = 4/5 * 3/2

x = 12/10

x =6/5

x = 1 1/5

One term of (x+y)^m is 31,824x^18y^11<br> What is the value of m ?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The value of m is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, One term of $(x+y)^m$ is $31,824x^{18}y^{11}$ ...(i)

We know that that (r+1)th term in $(a+b)^n$ is given by :-

$T_{r+1}=^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r$ ...(ii)

On comparing (i) with (ii) , we get

$a= x \text{ and } b= y \\n-r =18 \text{ and } r=11\\n=m$

i.e.

$m-r=18\Rightarow\ m-11=18\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=18+11=29$

Hence, the value of m is 29.
