Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is permutation, since order matters. The formula for us is
₁₈P₅ =
which simplifies to
₁₈P₅ = 
The factorial of 13 cancels out on the top and bottom leaving you with
₁₈P₅ = 18 × 17 × 16 × 15 × 14
which comes to 1,028,160 ways
Another way to look at it is: the first 5 people of 18 finish and the others you don't care about. Once the first place person is first, there are only 4 of the 18 left to finish in second place. Then there are only 3 left to finish in third place, etc. So if we use that reasoning, we don't even need to use the formula, we can just say
18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 and those are the first 5 people of 18 to finish.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The line given has a slope of 7.5 and a point at (12, 80)
Because of the slope, simply subtract 2 from the x and subtract 15 from the y to get another point, at (10, 65)
Thus, simply put your points at (10, 65) and (12, 80)

Answer:
1500 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the number of blonde students by the percentage they are of the school.
225/0.15 = 1500
The total number of students in your school is 1500.
(8y - 3) - (10y - 8) # Add or subtract like terms
-2y + 5
Hope this helps!
