Sounds like rearranging to me:

P=2(a+b) -- expand brackets
P=2a+2b -- subtract 2a
P-2a=2b -- divide by 2

b=(P-2a)/2

P=2(a+b)\\
P=2a+2b\\
2b=P-2a\\
b=\frac{P-2a}{2}

A committee of three men and two women can be formed from a group of nine men and eleven women in how many different ways.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

4620.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of combinations of 3 men from 9

= 9!/(9-3)!3!

=  9*8*7/3*2*1

= 84 ways.

The number of combinations of 2 women from 11

= 11!/11-2)!2!

=  11*10/2*1

= 55 ways.

So the total number of ways  of men and women in the committee

= 84*55

= 4620.
