The first choice can be any one of the 8 side dishes.
               For each of these . . .
The 2nd choice can be any one of the remaining 7.

     Total number of ways to pick 2 out of 8 = (8 x 7) = 56 ways .

BUT ...

That doesn't mean you can get 56 different sets of 2 side dishes.

For each different pair, there are 2 ways to choose them . . .
(first A then B), and (first B then A).  Either way, you wind up with (A and B).

So yes, there are 56 different 'WAYS' to choose 2 out of 8.
But there are only 28 different possible results, and 2 'ways'
to get each result.

bonufazy [111]
You would put it up into proportions so 33 over 55 equals x over 100. Then you would cross multiply so 55x=3300. Then you would divide 3300 by 55 and get 60%.

Malin and Shawn begin with the same number, t. Malin subtracts 6 from t and then divides the result by 6. Shawn adds 7 to t and
uysha [10]
T

adds 6
t-6

divides by 6
(t-6)/6



shawn
7+t

divide by 7
(7+t)/7


theyare equal


(t-6)/6=(7+t)/7
times 42 both sides
7(t-6)=6(t+7)
distribute
7t-42=6t+42
minus 6t both sides
t-42=42
add 42 both sides
t=84

What is the equation of the line parallel to 3x+2y= -4 that goes through the point (4,-1)
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

y = (-3/2)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = -4 (rearrange to slope intercept form y = mx + b)

2y = -3x - 4

y = (-3/2) x - 2

comparing this to the general form of a linear equation : y = mx + b

we see that slope of this line (and every line that is parallel to this line),

m = -3/2

if we sub this back in to the general form, we get:

y = (-3/2)x + b

We are still missing the value of b. To find this, we are given that the point (4,1) lies on the line. We simply substitute this back into the equation and solve for b.

1 = (-3/2)4 + b

1 = -6 + b

b = 7

substituting this back into the equation:

y = (-3/2)x + 7
