From the given equation
X+Y=20-->i
X-Y=14--->ii
add eq i and eq ii
2x=34
x=17
putting the value of x=17 in eq i
17+y=20
then y = 3 so the right answer is
17 and 3

How many possible committees of 4 people can be chosen from 15 men and 20 women so that at least two women should be on each com

Mnenie [13.5K]

<span>If there has to be 2 men and 2 women, we know that we must take a group of 2 men out of the group of 15 men and a group of 2 women out of the group of 20 women. Therefore, we have:

(15 choose 2) x (20 choose 2)

(15 choose 2) = 105

(20 choose 2) = 190

190*105 = 19950

Therefore, there are 19950 ways to have a group of 4 with 2 men and 2women.</span>

<span>If there has to be 1 man and 3 women, we know that we must take a group of 1 man out of the group of 15 men and a group of 3 women out of the group of 20 women. Therefore, we have:

(15 choose 1) x (20 choose 3)

(15 choose 1) = 15

(20 choose 3) = 1140

15*1140 = 17100

Therefore, there are 17100 ways to have a group of 4 with 3 women and 1 man.</span>

<span>We now find the total outcomes of having a group with 4 women.

We know this is the same as saying (20 choose 4) = 4845</span>

Therefore, there are 4845 ways to have a group of 4 with 4 women.

We now add the outcomes of 2 women, 3 women, and 4 women and get the total ways that a committee can have at least 2 women.

19950 + 17100 + 4845 = 41895 ways that there will be at least 2 women in the committee

Multiplying Powers with the Same Base

Luda [366]

Applying the product rule of exponents, each product of powers are matched with its simplified expression as:

1. $5 \times 5^3 = 5^4$

2. $5 \times 5^3 = 5^4$

3. $5^{-3} \times 5^{-3} = \frac{1}{5^6}$

4. $5^{-4} \times 5^{4} \times 5^0 = 5^0$

5. $5^{7} \times 5^{3} = 5^{10}$

To multiply the powers having the same base, we will apply the product rule for exponents.

<h3>What is the Product Rule for Exponents?</h3>

Base on the product rule for exponents, we have, $a^m \times a^n = a^{m + n} = a^{mn}$ .
In order to find the products of two given numbers that have the same base, the exponents would be added together.
