14 muffins is 2/5 of your muffins.

In total you had 5/5 muffins, which is 5/2 times more.

Hence you had 14*5/2=35 muffins !

Hence you have 35-14=21 left !

Find the total amount. Set up a proportion:

2/5/14 = 1/x

Cross multiply:

2/5x = 14

Divide 2/5 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 5/2:

x = 14 * 5/2

x = 70/2

x = 35

So the total amount of muffins is 35.

Now subtract this from the one's that blew away to find out how many are left.

35 - 14 = 21

So there are 21 muffins left.

Suppose we want to choose 2 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to choose 2 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D, to determine in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices matters, and in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices does not matter, the following calculations must be performed:

If order matters =

 

(4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / 2 = X

24/2 = X

12 = X

If the order doesn't matter =

12/2 = X

6 = X

Therefore, letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.

I need helping solving this
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: x= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug the second equation into the first equation’s y.
3x-2(-2x+7)=21

Then use distribution

3x+4x-14=21

Add 4x and 3x

7x-14=21

Then add 14 to both sides

7x=35

Divide by 7 to get x

35/7=5

x=5

  • <em>Answer:</em>

<em>x = - 2.5</em>

  • <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there !</em>

<em>4 - (2x + 4) = 5</em>

<em>4 - 2x - 4 = 5</em>

<em>- 2x = 5</em>

<em>2x = - 5</em>

<em>x = - 5 : 2</em>

<em>x = - 2.5</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>
