Easy One way to solve this system of equations would be by substitution. It would helpful to write these equation in the form y=mx + b in order to substitute one equation to the other. We do as follows:
1.) x - 2y = 6
y = x/2 -3
2.) 2x - 4y = 10
y = x/2 - 5/2
As we look at the rearranged equations, we see that their slopes are equal which means they are parallel lines so they do not intersect at one point. There is no solution for this system of equations.
Slot A = chairperson position
Slot B = secretary position
Slot C = treasurer position
There are 9 choices for slot A. After picking that person, there are 8 choices for slot B. Then 7 choices for slot C
Multiply those values out: 9*8*7 = 72*7 = 504
There are 504 ways to pick three people from a pool of nine.
Answer: 504
Note: order matters so this is a permutation. You can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 9 and r = 3 to get the same answer
It’s a total of 15miles pereimtere have a good day :)
2.5 miles per hour
Because 3/4 divided by 3/10 is equal to 2.5
