x^2-4x=60

<h2>In a meeting room for a business event, there are 4 fewer chairs laid out in each row than the number of rows. The total number of chairs in the room is 60.</h2><h2 />

If each row has the same number of chairs as rows, then there is x^2 chairs.

Because there is 4 fewer chairs in every row, for every row you minus 4 - 4x

There a 60 chairs in total.

x^2 - 4x = 60

Substitute a number into the formula to check:

If there are 10 rows:

x = 10

10^2 - 4(10) = 60

100 - 40 = 60.

What equation represents the line that passes through points (1.-5) and (3 -17)?
zzz [600]

ALL LINES CAN BE REPRESENTED IN THE FORM f(x) = ax+b.

We know that:

f(1) = -5 \implies a\cdot(1)+b = -5 \implies a+b = -5

and

f(3) = -17 \implies a\cdot(3) +b = -17 \implies 3a+b = 17

Observe that:

3a+b = 2a+a+b = 2a+(a+b)

So:

2a+(a+b) =-17

But we know that a+b = -5, so:

2a+(a+b) =-17

2a+(-5) = -17

2a = -12

a = -6

Since:

a+b = -5

(-6)+b = -5

b = 1

So the line is:

f(x) = 1-6x

How many subsets of {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15} are there for which the sum of the elements is 15?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

512

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we ask how many subsets of {1,2,3,4,5} add up to a number ≥8. The crucial idea is that we partition the set into two parts; these two parts are called complements of each other. Obviously, the sum of the two parts must add up to 15. Exactly one of those parts is therefore ≥8. There must be at least one such part, because of the pigeonhole principle (specifically, two 7's are sufficient only to add up to 14). And if one part has sum ≥8, the other part—its complement—must have sum ≤15−8=7

.

For instance, if I divide the set into parts {1,2,4}

and {3,5}, the first part adds up to 7, and its complement adds up to 8

.

Once one makes that observation, the rest of the proof is straightforward. There are 25=32

different subsets of this set (including itself and the empty set). For each one, either its sum, or its complement's sum (but not both), must be ≥8. Since exactly half of the subsets have sum ≥8, the number of such subsets is 32/2, or 16.
