Answer:
- <u>It is a combination</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
This is a combination because the order does not matter: the Beagle - Collie couple is the same as the Collie - Beagle couple, so it is only counted once.
The formula for combinations is:

For five diffferent dogs to be put in pairs, the number of different pairs is:

<span>4x-6y=24
2x-3y=12
2x-12=3y
y=2/3*x-4</span>
3:5 =3/5
3/5=4.16/x
using cross multiplication,
5(4.15)=3(x)
20.8=3x
x=108/15
thus, 4.16÷104/15 =3/5
We use a system of equations to solve this. Since tri city sells 4 times it becomes 4x and solly company is x. Then we do 4x-x=96. 3x=96. x=32. We are not finished yet. We still have to multiply x by 4. x=128. Tri City sold 128 dishwashers.
