Answer:

Look at step-by-step

Step-by-step explanation:

the key word "times" tells us we are multiplying something

Lisa is 9 years younger than her brother

Paul is 4 <u><em>times</em></u> the age of Lisa seven years ago

so now that we have some of this info lets just try to figure this out yeah XD

so we know that she is 9 years younger than her brother right

so lets just say he's 19 and she's 10

10 - 7 = 3

19 - 7 = 12

seven years ago then she was 3 and her brother was 12

SOOOOO

when you divide 12 by 3 you get 4 (4 times older)

when you multiply 3 by 4 you get twelve.

thats where the 4 comes into play

amd technically this question is weird as heck because it doesnt give you numbers to start out with (ages i mean) and so you just woould have to make up some random age.

Hopefully i am not completely wrong :)

To answer this problem, the utilization of the provided formula is of utmost importance.

The formula to be used would be for the combination with no repetition since it is what is asked and possibly happens when involving the products mentioned in the problem. The formula would be

      n!                                              where in
-------------                                                   n = number of things to choose from
(n - r)! r!                                                      r = number of things needed to form

the symbol ! is called a factorial function which replaces the sequence of multiplying a number in a descending order.

lets substitute and solve

      13!
--------------
(13 - 6)! 6!

      13!
-------------
   (7!) 6!

6,227,020,800
-------------------
  5,040 x 720

6,227,020,800
-------------------
    3,628,800

1,716

The answer would be 1,716.

Find the value of y.
Natali [406]

Answer:

y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given angels are congruent so they must be equal in measure.

Set them up equal and find y.

8y = 5y + 21, subtract 5y from both sides

8y -5y = 21, combine like terms

3y = 21, divide both sides by 3

y = 7
