Answer:

The number of ways Tony and Maria can both be selected for the committee is 8 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Tony and Maria have to be on the committee together or not at all.

ii) Let us consider Tony and Maria as combined as one person.

 Therefore now we can say that the number of eligible people for the committee = 9 - 1 = 8.

iii) therefore the number of ways that both Tony and Maria can be selected for the committee are

 = 8C1   =  \hspace{0.2cm}\binom{8}{1} = \frac{8!}{1! (8-1)!}  = \frac{8!}{1!\times 7!}  = \frac{8}{1}  = \hspace{0.1cm}8 \hspace{0.1cm}ways

Please help me with this
erica [24]

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's easier for you, you can replace n(a) with y and put a as x.

Now the equation is y = 7x + 4.

It asks you to put in 39 as y.

39 = 7x + 4.

To solve this, the goal is to isolate the variable on one side. The first step I see is to subtract the 4 from both sides.

35 = 7x

Now divide both sides by 7 and we're done!

5 = x

How to graph -3x+y=3
nalin [4]
For this question I would put the problem into slope-intercept form or y=mx+b. So add 3x to both sides so that the equation becomes y=3x+3 Then this equation is easier to graph. the y-intercept is 3 so there is a point at (0,3). and the slope is 3 so you would go over 1 up 3. Then connect those points and you have finished the graph. Hope this helps.

An aircraft has a total time in service of 468 hours. The Airworthiness Directive given was initially complied with at 454 hours
Georgia [21]

Answer:

440 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case the aircraft has completed one cycle of service in the first 454 hours of service. Then making the difference between the hours of service and the hours of the first cycle we have:

Hours of the second cycle= Total time in service- time Airworthiness Directive

=468-454=14

Then we have 14 hours of service and need to accumulate the rest to complete 454. It is

454-14=440

Then we need to accumulate 440 hours additional to complete the Airworthiness Directive .
