<h3>Answer:  1296 different committees</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

We have 9 men and we want to select 2 of them. The order doesn't matter. If order did matter, then we would have 9*8 = 72 permutations. Since order doesn't matter, we have instead 72/2 = 36 combinations. The reason why order doesn't matter is because no person outranks another on a committee. Any given seat is the same as anyone else. This is excluding any chairperson of course.

So we have 36 ways to select the men. There are also 36 ways to select the women as well for the exact same steps as listed above. This is due to there being 9 women total and we're selecting 2 of them.

Since there are 36 ways to select the two men, and 36 ways to select the two women, this leads to a total of 36*36 = 1296 different committees

It might help to think of a table that has 36 rows and 36 columns. Each row could represent a different two-person group of men while each column represents a different two-person group of women. The intersection of a given row and column would then form a unique four-person committee. So that may help visually show why there are 36*36 = 1296 different committees (each committee is an inner cell).

Which method is not used to find the solution of a system of linear equations. guess and checkA. graphingB. substitutionC. matri
ra1l [238]

Answer:

guess and check

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equation systems usually have two or more variables to find.

The values for these variables can be found by different methods, some of them are indeed graphing, substitution and with matrices.

So these are correct options that are used to solve linear systems of equations.

On the other hand, the guess and check method is not used to find the solution of these systems, since the more variables the system has the more difficult it is to guess the answer,<u> the graphic and mathematical methods are more effective and reliable.</u>

When Angela calculated her net worth; she got this: Net Worth = $435 - $560 = - $125. What does her negative net worth mean?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The negative net worth mean her liabilities are larger than her assets.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Angela's calculation of net worth:

                            Net Worth = $435 - $560 = - $125

  • Net worth is the difference in assets and debt. If the net worth is negative it means that debt is greater than assets.
  • The same thing is in Angela's case. Her debt or liability is greater than total assets hence making her net worth negative.
  • Her liability is still $125 greater than all of her assets added upon.
