Answer:

0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

3n-6=-8(6+5n)

3n-6=-48-40n

3n=-48-40n+6

40n+3n=-42

43n=-42

n=0.98 (I rounded it)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First use distributive property: a(b + c) = a*b + a*c

3n - 6 = -8(6 + 5n)

3n - 6 = 6 * (-8) + 5n *(-8)

3n - 6 = -48 - 40n

Now add 40n to both sides

3n - 6 + 40n = -48 - 40n + 40n

43n - 6 = -48

Now add 6 to both sides

43n - 6 + 6 = -48 + 6

43n = -42

n = -42 /43

Answer:

$\frac{1}{990}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The full question:

"A committee has eleven members. there are 3 members that currently serve as the boards chairman, ranking members, and treasurer. each member is equally likely to serve in any of the positions. Three members are randomly selected and assigned to be the new chairman, ranking member, and treasurer. What is the probability of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current positions?"

The permutation of choosing 3 members from a group of 11 would be:

P(n,r) = $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
