Answer: There are 190 handshakes takes place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people in the party = 20

Here, n = 20

So, the number of handshakes would be

$\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{20(20-1)}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{20\times 19}{2}\\\\=10\times 19\\\\=190$

Hence, there are 190 handshakes takes place.

If AB=x and x=4, then the transitive property states

Anarel [89]

Answer:

4. AB=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Transitive property is like substitution, or that's how I like to think of it. Since we have 2 common variables and 2 equations, we can "link them together". Replacing x with 4, you get AB=4.
