Answer:

E. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

C_1 = color 1

C_2 = color 2

C_3 = color 3

Case I

C₂      C₃       C₂

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₁       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case II

C₂      C₃       C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₂       C₃       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case III

C₁      C₃       C₂

C₂      C₁        C₃

C₃       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case IV

C₂     C₃         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case V

C₁      C₂         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₂      C₃       C₂

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case VI

C₁      C₂         C₃

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Therefore, the total combinations = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 36

In the given diagram, what is the measure of ∠ABC of parallelogram ABCD?
nata0808 [166]
<h3>Answer: C) 136 degrees</h3>

The known acute angle of the triangle is 46 degrees, so the unknown acute angle of that triangle is 90-46 = 44 degrees. In other words, the two acute angles of any right triangle must add to 90, so 46+44 = 90.

The 44 degree angle is adjacent to angle ADC, and it adds to angle ADC to form 180 degrees.

If x is the measure of angle ADC, then

44+(angleADC) = 180

44+x = 180

x = 180-44

x = 136

angle ADC = 136 degrees

For any parallelogram, the opposite angles are always congruent. Therefore, angle ABC is equal to angle ADC = 136, making ABC = 136 as well.

What value of x is in the solution set of -2(3x + 2) &gt; -8x + 6?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

x > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

= -2(3x + 2) > -8x + 6

 (negative sign before bracket will alter the internal signs when multiplied by each term)

= -6x - 4 > -8x +6

Taking x terms on left side and other constants on right side

= -6x + 8x > 6 +4

Signs will be changer for transferred terms

= 2x > 10

By Dividing both sides 2 we get

=x > 10/2

= x >5
