Answer:

-2 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-2=2x+8

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x-2=2x+3x+8

-2 = 5x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

-2-8 = 5x+8-8

-10 = 5x

Divide by 5

-10/5 = 5x/5

-2 =x

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{2}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8^x=\dfrac{1}{4}\\==============\\\\8=2^3\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2^2}=2^{-2}\\\\===============\\\\(2^3)^x=2^{-2}\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\2^{3x}=2^{-2}\iff3x=-2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x=-\dfrac{2}{3}$

Evaluate C(8, 2). 56<br> 28<br> 40,320<br> 20,160

algol13

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

C(8,2)

Formula to use

here n = 8

r = 2

We have to calculate combinations of 8 object taken 2 at a time, then

C(8,2)

8C2

8! / 2! * (8 - 2)!

$\frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{2*1(6!)}$

$\frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{2*1(6*5*4*3*2*1)}$

$\frac{8*7}2$

56/2

So, 8C2 = 28
