Answer:
there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a total of 8 locations ( 4 to the new ointment and 4 to the control) , each one can be chosen and since the order of the locations that are chosen for the new ointment is not relevant , then we know that the number of choices is given by the number of combinations of 4 elements in 8
number of combinations = 8 possible locations to the first ointment * 7 possible locations to the second ( since the first one was already located) * 6 to the third * 5 locations for the fourth / number of times the same combination is repeated ( the same locations but in different positions) = 8*7*6*5 / (4 possible positions for the first ointment* 3 possible positions to the second ointment (since the first one was already located * 2 possible positions of the third * 1 possible position of the fourth)
therefore
number of combinations = 8*7*6*5/(4*3*2*1 ) = 8!/((8-4)!*4!) = 70 possible combinations
thus there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment
First replace y with 15.
1/5x-10=30
Then just solve from there.
x=200

No the 2 equations are not equal
the -1/10, -1/10 can't be subtracted from 1 3/10g
they are not like terms
the proper equation is
1/5g converts to 2/10g
2/10g - 1g + 1 3/10 g = 5/10g or 1/2g
1/2g - 2/10 is final equation
