The answer: x=857 and y=-401

Set up the two equations

X+2y=55
2x+y=1313

Solve the system of equations by elimination

2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110

Add each of the corresponding terms together

-3y=1203

Divide by -3

Y=-401

Plug y back into one of the original equations

X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857

Ten individuals are candidates for a committee. Two will be selected. How many different pairs of individuals can be selected?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The different pairs of individual can be computed using rule of combination.

The combination is denotes as nCr.

nCr=n!/(r!(n-r)!)

In the given problem n=total candidates=10 and r= Selected candidates=2.

10C2=10!/(2!(10-2)!)

10C2=10*9*8!/(2!8!)

10C2=90/2

10C2=45

So, 45 different pairs of individuals can be selected.
