Answer: 4368

(The other answer was wrong)

Call the 5 chairs a, b, c, d, e. Then, since they can't be adjacent, we need at least one chair between them. So it looks something like this

a [] b [] c [] d [] e

We have 15 chairs left (20 - 15 = 5), and we must insert 4, so now there are 15 - 4 = 11 chairs to distribute across six slots:

(here) a (here) b (here) c (here) d (here) e (here)

This is just solving a + b + c + d + e + f = 11 where a, b, c, d, e, f are non-neg ints. This comes out to 16 choose 5, which is 4368.

Hope that helped,

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we choose chairs having odd number in the row

no of chairs from which selection is made = 10

no of chairs to be selected = 5

no of ways = 10C₅

similarly if we choose hairs having even numbers only ,

similar to above , no of ways

= 10C₅

Total no of ways

= 2 x 10C₅

= 2 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 / 5 x 4x3 x 2 x 1

= 504 .

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Write the absolute value inequality in the form
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

|x - 1 |> 6,

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the distance between the two points

-5 to 7

7 - -5 =7+5 = 12

We find 1/2 that distance

12/2 = 6

So we are looking for a greater-than inequality  because we are looking for the outsides because we want a less than and a greater than

|x - b |> c,

The center is 6 to that is c

|x - b |> 6,

To find the value of b

Let x = 7

7 -b =6

b=1

|x - 1 |> 6,

We can check by using -5

|-5 - 1 |> 6,

PLZ HELP! Need this ASAP! Thx so much :)
saul85 [17]

they are giving you the answer AB=AC, so what that means is that the angles are congruent to each other so if angle AC=15 and angle DC=5 all the angles will be the same.
