Well in this case, to see which is greater, let's just say that:
x=4   <--- 4 is less than 5
y=5

Now substitute:
2x-y                   2y-x
2(4)-5                2(5)-4
8-5                      10-4
3                            6

Which of these is greater, 3 or 6? 6, obviously. Therefore, we know that 2y-x is greater.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the number of the different ways, for 3 students to sit on 7 seats in one row.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

Here comes the problem from Combination.

We are being asked to find the number of ways out in which 3 students may sit on 7 seats in a row. Please see that in this case the even can not be repeated.

Let us start with the student one. For him all the 7 seats are available to sit. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 7

Let us see the student second. For him there are only 6 seats available to sit as one seat has already been occupied. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 6

Let us see the student third. For him there are only 5 seats available to sit as two seat has already been occupied. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 5

Hence the total number of ways for three students to be seated will be

7 x 6 x 5

=210
