Well lets assume that NO = NP. If this is the case then 17 = 5x - 6. We then want to solve for x. So add 6 to each side, this equals 23 = 5x. I do not know if it is suppose to be a decimal, but I will do it anyway. Divide 23 by 5 which is 4.6. So x = 4.6. Now plug this into x. So NO = 17 and NP = 17. This is the only way I see possible to solve this problem. Let me know if it was correct please.
Total number of trees n = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10. Count the number of each different trees. n1=4, n2=3, n3=3. Number of ways the landscaper plant the trees in a row is = 10 ! / ( 4! * 3! * 3! ) = 3628800 / ( 24 * 6 * 6 ) = 3628800 / 864 = 4200 ways.
To convert the amount of milk from deciliters to liters we proceed as follows: 1 liter = 10 deciliters therefore the amount of liters used in making the cake will be found as follows: 5.25/10×1=0.525 liters
