Answer:Hope This Helps ☺️

Step-by-step explanation:

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CASE 1: substitute 1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (1) - 5)+ 2(1-3) = - (-1) + 2(-2) = 1 - 4 = -3

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(1) - 5 = -2-5 = -7

Hence for x= 1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because -3 ≠ -7

CASE 2: substitute -1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (-1) - 5)+ 2(-1-3) = - (-9) + 2(-4) = 9 - 8 = 1

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(-1) - 5 = 2-5 = -3

Hence for x= -1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because 1 ≠ -3

Answer:

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set {1,2,3,4,5,6} has a total of 6! permutations

a. Of those 6! permutations, 5!=120 begin with 1. So first 120 numbers would contain 1 as the unit digit.

b. The next 120, including the 124th, would begin with  '2'  

 c. Then of the 5! numbers beginning with 2, there are 4!=24 including the 124th number, which have the second digit =1

d. Of these 4! permutations beginning with 21, there are 3!=6 including the 124th permutation which have third digit 3

e. Among these 3! permutations beginning with 213, there are 2 numbers with the fourth digit =4 (121th & 122th), 2 with fourth digit 5 (numbers 123 & 124) and 2 with fourth digit 6 (numbers 125 and 126).

Lastly, of the 2! permutations beginning with 2135, there is one with 5th digit 4 (number 123) and one with 5 digit 6 (number 124).

∴   The 124th number is 213564

Similarly reversing the above procedure we can determine the position of 321546 to be 267th on the list.
