Answer:

24 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assign the variables x and y to the two numbers we can set up two equations,

x+y = 62

x = y + 14

Substituting the second equation into the first,

(y+14)+y = 62

2y + 14 = 62

subtract 14 on both sides

2y = 48

divideboth sides by 2

y = 24

If y = 24, then x = 38 because x is 14 more than y.

exis [7]

Answer: 6630

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Number of documentaries = 17

Number of children's movies = 20

Total movies = 17+20=37

Number of combinations of r things taken out of things = $^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Now, the number of different combinations of 3 movies can she rent if she wants at least one documentary

= (1 documentary+2 children's movies , 2 documentary+1 children's movies , 3 documentary+0 children's movies)

$=^{17}C_1\times^{20}C_{2}+^{17}C_2\times^{20}C_{1}+^{17}C_3\times^{20}C_{0}$

$=(17)\times\dfrac{20!}{2!18!}+\dfrac{17!}{2!15!}\times(20)+\dfrac{17!}{3!14!}(1)\\\\=3230+2720+680=6630$

Hence, the number of different combinations of 3 movies can she rent if she wants at least one documentary is 6630 .
