P(5,3) .... or 5P3 if your textbook likes it that way ... = (5)(4)(3) = 60 ways.  

If you don't know about the permutation counting function, P(n,k) is the number of ways to pick k out of n different items, where order matters.  

P(n,k) = n(n-1)(n-2)...(n+1-k)  

It's easier to write with factorials, with P(n,k) = n!/k!, but the above is easier to compute most of the time.  

Without that, you can still solve with common sense. There are 5 ways to pick the president. For each of those, there are 4 choices left for vice president, and for each of those there are 3 choices left for secretary. 5*4*3 =

Answer:

4) Alternate  Interior angles 5) Parallel lines property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to Complete the statements to prove that line AB ⩭ to line CD and line BC ⩭ to line AD.

In statement 4 .∠CAB is congruent to ∠ACD as AB is parallel to CD  and ∠BCA  is congruent to∠CAD as AD is parallel to BC  and these are Alternate interior angles to the parallel lines .

In statement 5.m∠CAB =∠ACD and ∠BCA = ∠CAD as by property of parallel lines Alternate interior angles are equal.

System of equations, special case infinitely many solutions?????
Mashcka [7]

One possible system is

1x + 3y = 4

2x + 6y = 8

Note how 2 is twice as large as 1, 6 is twice as large as 3, and 8 is twice as large as 4.

In other words, the second equation is the result of multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2.

1x+3y = 4

2*(1x+3y) = 2*4

2x+6y = 8

Effectively the two equations in bold are the same which produces the same line. The two lines overlap perfectly to intersect infinitely many times. An intersection is a solution.
