Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula.
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C.
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space.
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.
Answer:
y=3x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is 3 because rise over run. Rise is 3 and run is 1. 3/1 is 3. and b= y-intercept and the poiunt wehre the line intercepts the y axis is 3. so your answer is y=3x+3
Answer:
31.5 or 63/2
Step-by-step explanation:
to do this, first you need to transform the <u>mixed number</u> <em>(3 1/2)</em> into an <u>improper fraction</u>, to get 7/2.
then you just multiply 9 by 7/2
9/1 (7/2)
63/2 = 31.5
<em>both of the answers in bold are correct</em>
Answer:
4 sqrt(3) cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a square is
A = s^2 where s is the side length
48 = s^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(48) = sqrt(s)
sqrt(16*3) = s
4 sqrt(3) =s
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(-5x+2)-3x-5=-30
open the bracket
+20x-8-3x-5=-30
collect like terms
20x-3x-8-5=-30
17x=-30+13
17x= - 17
divide both sides by 17
x= -1
