Each medal is different and is handed out depending on the outcome of the race/order of the racers, so we're counting the number of permutations. 4 medals are given to 4 runners, so there are
possible ways to do it.
That is impossible to answer because this is an expression. you can only solve for x in equations
180-34=146
146-5=141
ratio=1:4
1+4=5
141÷5=28.2
x=28.2
y=112.8

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the numbers be x, y and z</u>
- x + y + z = 24
- 2y = z + 2
- z = x + y
<u>Solving by substitution:</u>
- x + y + z = z + z = 24
- 2z = 24
- z = 12
- 2y = z + 2
- 2y = 12 + 2
- 2y = 14
- y = 7
- z = x + y
- x = z - y
- x = 12 - 7 = 5
<u>The answer:</u>
