Answer:
4x= 14
Step-by-step explanation:
22 - 1 = -3d
21= -3d
21/-3= d
-7 = d
Bring the 1 to the other side by doing the opposite sign, so subtract 1. Solve the left side.
Bring the 3 to the other side by doing the opposite sign, so divide 21 by -3.
End with D equaling -7
The best possible solution for this item is to determine the permutation of 8 taken 3 since there are 3 positions and 8 people are qualified. We will use permutation instead of combination because of the specificity of the positions. That is,
8P3 = 336
Thus, there are 336 ways in which the officers can be selected.
9 + 0.5n = 35
0.5n = 35 - 9
0.5n = 26
n = 26 : 0.5
<u><em>n = 52</em></u>
