Set up a proportion: x/60=(x+32)/80
Cross multiply: 60x+1920=80x
Simplify: 1920=20x
Solve: x=96

13 – 6x = 2(8 + 3x) <br> x= ???????

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

$13-6x=2\left(8+3x\right)$

$13-6x=16+6x$

$13-6x-13=16+6x-13$

$-6x=6x+3$

$-6x-6x=6x+3-6x$

$-12x=3$

$\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{3}{-12}$

$x=-\frac{1}{4}$

$x=-0.25$

Suppose we want to choose 7 colors, without replacement, from 9 distinct colors

Digiron [165]

The number of ways to choose the colors is 36

<h3>How to determine the number of ways?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Colors = 9

Colors to choose = 7

Since order does not matter, then it is combination

This is calculated using:

$^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}$

This gives

$^nC_r = \frac{9!}{7!2!}$

Evaluate

$^nC_r = 36$

Hence, the number of ways is 36
