Answer:
Explanation:
Work backward:
1. 2x + 23 = 30
Start:
Multiply the equation by 2:
Subtract 30 from both sides
- 2x - 30 = 7 - 30
- 2x - 30 = -23
Add 23 and 30 to both sides:
2. 3x + 19.5 = 30
Start:
Add 6.5 to both sides:
Multiply by 3:
Distributive property:
3. (10x - 20)/ 5 = 3
Start:
Multiply by 10:
Subtract 20:
Divide by 5:
There are 19 people total, and groups of four are being asked of us. We can use the formula for permutations or combinations.
Permutations:

Combinations:

Where in both scenarios, there are <em>n</em> objects being chosen at <em>r</em> times.
19 P 4 is 93024
19 C 4 is 3876
It all depends on whether order matters with group placement; if it does, your answer is
93024, if not, then your answer is
3876.:)
hello since we are simplifying 15^-3*15^6 all we have to do is add the exponents when we add them we end up with an answer of 15^3
