we needed to eliminate w, do so by diving both sides by w and obtain the above result :)
Hope this helps.
Good evening ,
______
Answer:
12×11×10×9×8×7= 665 280 ways
___________________
Step-by-step explanation:
The first inquiry has 12 ways
The 2nd inquiry has 11 ways
The 3rd inquiry has 10 ways
The 4th inquiry has 9 ways
The 5th inquiry has 8 ways
The 6th inquiry has 7 ways
The bottom answer is correct. I had some trouble with this so I had to find x and y in separate parts.
TO FIND X
notice that the top triangle and bottom triangles are similar, meaning if you multiple all three sides of one by a specific number, it becomes the same size as the bottom triangle.
17 x n = 8, therefore n=8/17
8 x n = X, therefore X=64/17
For some reason, this does not give a correct value for Y, so I had to use trig
TO FIND Y
Notice that the angle DAB is the same as DBC (lets call this angle Ø)
Using trig rule, we know that the cos of an angle is equal to the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuses.
We can now form some equations:
cosØ = 15/17 (from the top triangle)
cosØ = 8/Y (from bottom triangle)
Now we know that Y=(8x17)/15 = 136/15
X=64/15 Y=136/15
The answer is C. 680 is the initial value and 4.3 is the growth rate.
