Answer:
6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
A swim meet has 13 contestants signed up. To calculate the arrangement of first 6 swimmers in first heat we will use combinations because order doesn't matter.
So to select 6 swimmers out of 13 contestants number of different ways
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 1716
Therefore, 6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.
Answer:
The sum of x and y is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
x+2y=10
x-2y=2
------------
2x = 12, so x = 6. Substituting 6 for x in the 2nd equation, we get:
6 - 2y = 2, or
4 = 2y, or y = 2. The solution is therefore (6, 2).
The sum of x and y is 6 + 2 = 8 (answer)
Answer:
Let two consecutive multiples of 3 be x and (x+3)
A/q,
x * (x+3) = 648
➡ x² + 3x = 648
➡ x² + 3x -648 = 0
➡ x² + 27x - 24x -648 = 0
➡ x ( x + 27 ) -24 ( x +27)
➡ ( x - 24) ( x + 27)
➡ x = 24 and x = -27
so, we take x = 24.
Required multiples of 3
➡ x = 24
➡ x +3 = 24+3 = 27.
