Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're dealing with a problem where the order matters and the first two letters are already chosen we need to subtract the number of letters and the number of available slots per group.

We use the permutation formula to find the answer, but before that let's check values.

n = 8

k = 5

Now since there are two letters already chosen we have to deduct two from both the value of n and k.

n = 6

k = 3

Now we can use the permutation formula:

_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6!}{6-3)!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6!}{3!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1}

The 3*2*1 cancels out and leaves us with:

_{6}P_{3}=6*5*4

_{6}P_{3}=120

So there are 120 possible ways to arrange eight letters into groups of five where order matters and the first two letters are already chosen.

This problem is based on permutations because here order matters.

This problem can be found by the following solution.

When you are given 8 letters and two letters are already chosen, then 6 letters are left and you want to know in how many ways 6 letters can fill 3 spaces when order matters. So, the answer is 6P3 ways.

\frac{6!}{(6-3)!}

= \frac{6 *5 *4 *3 *2 *1}{3 *2 *1}

= 6*5*4 = 120

Hence, there are total 120 combinations.

what is 9z+2=6z-10-z-4 we have to do something called railroad tracks where we put lines down the sides of the equal sign but I
Colt1911 [192]
You want to solve for 'z'.
First combine like terms on either side of the equal sign.

Left side:  9z +2  ----> No like terms, leave alone

Right side: 6z - 10 -z - 4  ----> circle like terms and add
                    6z -z = 5z
                   -10 -4 = -14
Now the equation is:
9z + 2 = 5z - 14

Get all the 'z' terms on the left side and all the numbers on right side.
You can move a term to the other side if you flip the sign.

Move 5z to left side, flip the sign to -5z
Move '2' to right side, flip the sign to -2

9z - 5z = -2 -14

Add like terms
4z = -16

Divide by 4 on both sides
z = -4
