It could be 20 times or 25 times
Answer:
k = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
If 
Then
So
From this follows k = -2
To answer this problem, the utilization of the provided formula is of utmost importance.
The formula to be used would be for the combination with no repetition since it is what is asked and possibly happens when involving the products mentioned in the problem. The formula would be
n! where in
------------- n = number of things to choose from
(n - r)! r! r = number of things needed to form
the symbol ! is called a factorial function which replaces the sequence of multiplying a number in a descending order.
lets substitute and solve
13!
--------------
(13 - 6)! 6!
13!
-------------
(7!) 6!
6,227,020,800
-------------------
5,040 x 720
6,227,020,800
-------------------
3,628,800
1,716
The answer would be 1,716.
<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a =
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26
b = 22</span>
