Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 25 = 5² , then

$5^{(6-2x)}$ = 5²

Since the bases on both sides are 5 then equate the exponents

6 - 2x = 2 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 2

A patient with end-stage kidney disease has nine family members who are potential kidney donors. How many possible orders are th

eduard

Answer: 504

Step-by-step explanation:

When we select r things from n things in a order , we use permutations.

Formula for permutation: $^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Given : The number of family members who are potential kidney donors. = 9

Number of people needed to be selected for best match, a second-best match, and a third-best match ( in an order)=3

Then, the number of possible orders are = $^9P_3=\dfrac{9!}{(9-3)!}$

$=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!}=504$

Hence, the number of possible orders 504.

Simplest form of 2/10

slega [8]

To simplify fractions, all you have to do is divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of both integers.

In this case, the greatest common factor of 2 and 10 is 2.

2/2=1
10/2=5

So, 2/10 in its simplest form is 1/5.
