Answer: The correct option is (a) 12.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number of permutations that exists for the letters a, b, c and d taking two at a time.

We know

The number of permutations of 'n' different things taking 'r' ('r' less than or equal to 'n') at a time is given by the formula:

^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}.

In the given case, there are 4 different letters and we are to take two at a time, so

n = 4  and  r = 2.

Therefore, the number of permutations will be

^4P_2=\dfrac{4!}{(4-2)!}=\dfrac{4!}{2!}=\dfrac{4\times3\times2\times 1}{2\times 1}=4\times 3=12.

Thus, there are 12 permutations that exists.

Option (a) is correct.

Answer:

x = 121°

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add up all the angles of a triangle, you get 180°.

So you must add up all the angles.

27+32+x=180\\\\59+x=180

Next you subtract 59 on both sides.

x=121

x should be 121°.

If you would like to check your answer, you can add up 27, 32, and 121. If it all equals to 180, then your answer is correct.

12x + 4 divided by 4 plus 20x + 5 divided by 5
Rasek [7]
12x + 4 ➗ 4 + 20x + 5 ➗ 5

1. PEMDAS (order of operations) solve the division problems

(4 divided by 4 & 5 divided by 5)
12x + 1 + 20x + 1

2. Swap around the order of operations as commutative property states that you can swap the order of an addition problem and get the same answer.

12x + 20x + 1 + 1

3. Add like terms

32x + 2

This is the most simplified answer you could get as you can not add 32x and 2 as they are not like terms.
