First, let's review what the "factorial operator" ! means.
5! = 5*4*3*2*1.
3! = 3*2*1
7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1
Then:
7! 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 7*6*5*4 5040
----- = ----------------------- = ------------- = ----------- = 5040 (answer)
3! 3*2*1 1 1
For this problem, I'd use cross-multiplication.
9/12 = x/8.
When cross multiplying, multiply 12*x and 9*8. This leads to a new equation:
12x = 72.
Then you solve as an algebra problem.
*Divide 12 on both sides*
x = 6.
Answer: 12x-4, 14 counters, 8 more counters
Step-by-step explanation: There are 2x yellow, 4x+6 red, and 6x-10 blue counters. We need to add all of this up to get the total number of counters. We first add the x's : 2x+4x+6x = 12x. Then we add the numbers. 6+ (-10) is -4. So, our expression is 12x-4. Next, we need to find out how many blue counters are in the bag. We know that there are 44 total counters and we need to find x because all the counters have x in them. 12x-4 = 44. We first add 4 to both sides to get 12x= 48 and x = 4. blue has 6x-10 counters so, blue has 24-10 = 14 counters. Red has 16+6 = 22 counters. 22-14 = 8 more counters
wendy paid $41.79.
kelly's shoes were $9.95, and wendy paid 4.2 times more.
just multiply 9.95 with 4.2.
9.95 x 4.2 = 41.79
