Incomplete question. I Assumed the number of people is 6. In other words, In how many ways can 6 people be lined up to get on a bus if a particular person always boards the bus first or last?

Answer:

<u>6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Note, this question involves the use of the permutation formula; which helps <u>determine the arrangement or rearrangement of a set of objects in an ordered way.</u> Since we are told a particular person (ie 1 person) from among the group always boards first or last, it forms our r.

P(n,r)= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} where n = number of people; r = the difference taken at a time.

P(n,r) = \frac{6!}{(6-1)!} = \frac{720}{120} = 6

Find the value of the variable x (2x+12) and 8x-18
maxonik [38]

Answer: Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Just mutiply x on both sides which gives you 2x^2 + 12x then you mutiply 2x^2 then subtract that number on both sides and it gives you x = something then you distribute it on 8(something) - 18 you subtract

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 114. what is the smallest of the three numbers?​
saul85 [17]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let n be any number.

If we multiply n by 2, we get 2n. Since anything multiplied by 2 is even, 2n <em>must</em> be even. Therefore, let 2n be our first number.

So, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2) followed by (2n+4).

We know that their sum must be 114. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4)=114

Solve for n. Combine like terms on the left:

6n+6=114

Subtract 6 from both sides:

6n=108

Finally, divide both sides by 6. Therefore, the value of n is:

n=108/6=18

Therefore, our first even number is 2n or 2(18) which equates to 36.

And the consecutive even numbers will be 38 and 40.

So, the smallest of them, the first term, is 36.

the population of masterton was 23 000 in 2012. Assume that Masterton population increases at a rate of 2% per year. Write an eq
Oksanka [162]
So, let's first focus on the first year:

the population then would be: 23000* (100+2)%

100% is the old population the 2% is the incease, so in total it's 102%, or 1.02 - the same number written differently.

So it will be 23000*1.02

After two years it will be 23000*1.02*1.02, and so on

so after x years it will be:

y=23000*1.02^{z}
